crisis in darfur
The United Nations estimates that as many as 450,000 have died as a result of the genocide currently taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan. As many as 2.5 million have been displaced.
"The ongoing Darfur Genocide is no accident, no local tribal conflict. The genocide is the brutal plan of three men in the Sudanese national Government -- President Bashir, Vice-President Taha, Security Chief Gosh. Now they are spreading their system of terror to other African countries, including Chad and the Central African Republic . Yet our governments continue to cut deals with them - deals they repeatedly break. It is time for the US and European governments to stop appeasing genocide. We call on our governments to fully support the International Criminal Court to indict the perpetrators of genocide, and to help ensure their arrest. It is time for justice, because only justice can bring peace."

cacc responds - tents of hope for darfur
The purpose of The Tents of Hope project is to create awareness about the plight of the
Darfuri people and the need for international action by bringing together communities
across the country to paint refugee tents with signs of peace and hope. So far, 100 cities
across the U.S. are responding by creating tents that are both unique works of art and a
visible expression of the conscience of the local communities.
All of the painted tents will be on display at a national event in Washington, D.C., in October,
2008, as a focal point for education, advocacy and fundraising for humanitarian assistance.
The 25 California cities participating include Bakersfield, Berkeley, Davis, Fremont,
Hayward, Los Angeles, Modesto, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco.
On April 24, there will be a "Gathering of the Tents" on the Capitol Mall in Sacramento.
We hope to take our painted CACC tent to this event.
