Designers For Darfur

Designers for Darfur (DFD) would like to thank you all for attending this evening’s event - Rip the Runway for Darfur, your voice, support, and generosity are invaluable to the suffering people of Darfur.

As many of you are aware, the crisis in Darfur is far from over. Therefore, it is our duty to keep the spotlight on this region and the heat on the powers-that-be to do more to end the crisis.

In order to assure that this crisis remains in the forefront of our collective consciousness, DFD will be implementing the following important events and initiatives (with more to be added)

• September 2007 - DFD T-Shirt Design Competition

• October 2007 - DFD sponsored Letter writing campaign
  to Congress and the United Nations

In the meantime, you can help to end the genocide by taking small steps that can make a big difference for the people of Darfur. By lobbying your members of Congress, educating others, planning a local event, and generating coverage in the media about the crisis, you will help to build the political power needed to end this conflict. Please TAKE ACTION!!!
