St. Viator STAND

Since its inauguration in September of 2007, the Saint Viator High School chapter of STAND has been growing both in numbers and in its contribution to the effectiveness and breadth anti-genocide movement.

St. Viator STAND has hosted movie screenings of “Facing Sudan,” confronted the Chinese government face-to-face about its actions in Darfur, demonstrated at NBC Studios to bring attention to the Genocide Olympics, raised funds by selling T-shirts and bracelets, and has even encouraged student action on other humanitarian fronts.

We are always open to new ideas for action, and hope that you will join us in helping end the Darfur genocide. Shoot us an email to get on our chapter update list and get involved!
