A little rusty on your knowledge about Sudan and South Sudan? Want to make sure what you talk about reflects the reality of what's happening on the ground? We've got you covered.

Join us tonight at 8:00 PM EST for STAND's the first of multiple webinars in the Sudan: Where Are We Now? campaign.

Vija Lietuvninkas writes about her experiences organizing a workshop on "Perceptions of Genocide." Vija is a rising junior at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania majoring in Peace, Development, and Gender Studies. 

Jessica Pham, STAND's Media Coordinator, attended Sunday's "We Choose Peace" rally in Washington, D.C. The rally was a chance for Sudanese, South Sudanese, and advocates to come together to celebrate the independence of South Sudan and to reaffirm a commitment to choosing peace in Sudan and South Sudan.

The event featured dancing, singing, live music, speeches, and a vote. With two large ballot boxes on the stage, attendees were able to vote for either "War" or "Peace." Can you guess which one won? Read on to find out in STAND's first ever Storify!
