Bands: Great Job, Monterey, the Jons Speakers: TBD The focus of this event, which will take place from 1 PM to 4 PM on Sunday, April 13, 2008, is to urge our elected officials to support the new UN Peacekeeping force in Darfur. The UN officially took over from the African Union in January 2008, but at the moment is facing several major obstacles that are preventing them from fulfilling their mandate to protect civilians. In particular, they are in desparate need of helicopters and ground vehicles, which could easily be provided by Western governments. They also face crippling restrictions imposed by the government of Sudan, which means that the US government must continue to apply economic and political pressure. Participants will assemble at El Presidio Park, and hear briefly from one or two speakers who will explain the situation in Darfur and why it is something that we should speak up about on a local level. At that point, the march will begin, with participants following a circuitous route down several major city streets in order to maximize visibility and impact. The march is intended to "make some noise" to show that the Tucson community supports continued international involvement in Darfur. Overall, the march itself will last between 30 and 45 minutes, ending at El Presidio (to avoid difficulties with transporting people back to their cars once the event is over). All logistical details of the march portion of the event will be coordinated with the Tucson Police Department and the Tucson Department of Transportation. Once the march is over, the remainder of the event will consist of two major activities: hearing from speakers who can give insight into the situation in Darfur, and enjoying music from three local bands: Great Job, the Jons, and Monterey. In addition, funds will be raised through the sale of raffle tickets and promotional T-shirts, to be donated to the United Nations World Food Program for direct aid to the people of Darfur.
