Testimonials
- Person:John Prendergast, Co-Chair of the ENOUGH ProjectPlace:STAND National Conference 2007
When I worked in the White House, every time we wanted to do something on an issue like Congo or Rwanda, we'd turn around and hope that citizens across the country were going to push our issue forward, but there was nothing but a big, big silence. So what we need, all over this country, is people who are willing to stand up and make noise whenever there is a situation that demands the United States attention and our action.
