Genocide Intervention Fund needs your help to win a $40,000 grant from mtvU just by CLICKING!

Just go to Darfur Activism Awards and cast as many votes as possible.

Two important things,
  • You can vote multiple times
  • In order for your vote to count, you need to vote for both awards (that means you have to cast two votes, one for the $40,000 grant and one for the $10,000 grant).

Voting lasts until next Wednesday, May 4th.


Help the GIF team spread the word by publicizing this event:

  • Tell your friends, family, faculty, and community members
  • Send an email to your listservs or other campus groups
  • Post the link on your/your group's/your school's website
  • Send this message to all the groups on your facebook homepage


The GIF team sent this heartfelt message,
quote:
"We have achieved so much over the last couple months together. From panel-discussions to benefit concerts, vigils to movie screenings, and the success of the April 6th event in Washington, D.C., we have poured a huge amount of energy to help end this genocide. Letter writing and call-in days have proven to be invaluable (the Darfur Accountability Act in the Senate has passed)!

Even with the limited resources we have had access to, we have made a difference. Since the launch of the 100 Days of Action Campaign, over $80,000 has been raised for the African Union peacekeepers, the only group providing necessary protection and security for the citizens of Darfur. Imagine what we can do with increased support for our efforts. The GIF has the great honor of being one of three finalists for the mtvU and Reebok Darfur Activism Awards, which, if won, would provide a $40,000 grant to advance more national efforts to end the genocide."

What makes the GIF better than the other choices? Aren't all of their goals to stop the genocide in the Sudan?


What if what you think is great, really is great, but it's not as great as something greater?
