Faith in Action

Hey Family.  Please take 30 seconds to send Councilwoman Helen Holton an email about an important piece of legislation that’s going to be heard today by the Taxation & Finance Committee of the Baltimore City Council.  The bill - that will be voted on today at 10:15AM - would begin the process of divesting from Sudan in an effort to put pressure on that African nation to become a good faith partner in ending the cycle of violence in Darfur, protecting the people, and enabling them to return to their homes. 

Please take 30 seconds to send Councilwoman Holton an email.  No matter where you are in the world, you can do this.  I’ve written the email for you and I’ve provided a clickable complete with Holton (and others) email addresses already written in the “To” field.  All you have to do is click that link, copy/paste the email that I wrote in the message box and click “send.”

I just found out that I can’t go to the hearing today because I will be speaking at a local middle school for American Education Week activities.  While I’m disappointed that I can’t make the hearing, I’ll feel better knowing that people came to my blog and sent the Baltimore City Council a note encouraging them to pass this important bill.

Please Please Please go to my TAKE ACTION PAGE and follow the simple directions.  If you have any problems sending the email let me know. 

No matter where you are in the world, you can make a difference here in Baltimore and thousands of miles away in Darfur, Sudan.
