Thank you so much to everyone who helped with the Prendergast Event! It was a huge success! We had about 800-900 people attend, even with the major set back of telling people it was canceled for a day.

Prendergast's talk was incredible! I thought it was moving, positive, inspirational, empowering, and informative! Hope you all enjoyed it too. We had
several new people sign up for the STAND Listserv, and now there are so many more people in Corvallis who are interested and informed.

Remember his menu of easy actions that you can take:
1) Write to your congressman and senators to urge them to do more for Darfur
2)Call 1-800-Genocide to contact reps/senators and the White House. Remember you will not get put on any list, because it does not have caller ID through this number.
3) Write to your local newspaper about Darfur & contact media organizations urging them to write stories on Darfur! www.beawitness.org
4)Join the movement (contact OSU STAND! or sign up online through Save
Darfur Coalition, Stop Genocide Now, Amnesty International, Kids for Kids, and so many more...
5) Divestment (OSU STAND is working on this this term)
6)Join the Lane County Darfur Coalition in bringing attention to China's support of the genocide at the 2008 Olympic Trials to be Held in June

7) Raise awareness, educate others, you do not have to be an expert in order to let your friends know what is going on.
