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.
We are very excited to announce that STAND will be hosting its 2008 National Student Conference on November 7-9 in Washington, DC!
Join student activists from across the country as we come together to learn from policy experts and each other about how to be more effective advocates to end the ongoing atrocities in Sudan, Burma, and the Congo, and ensure that we "STAND Out Loud" against genocide in our world.
