The American Anti-Slavery Group and other human rights groups are organizing a rally to protest the UN's inaction in Darfur and to stop the genocide in Sudan. The rally will be held outside the U.N. in New York City at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 12, which is just prior to the reconvening of the UN's General Assembly.

We are issuing a special call to action to the blogging community to publicize this rally on their sites. We hope to bring together a grassroots movement to hold world leaders accountable and force the UN at last to take strong action on genocide. [Emphasis added.]

The website for the rally is here:

Black people across Sudan are under threat of annihilation. The mass murder of Blacks in Darfur is the first genocide of the 21st century: 50,000 have been slaughtered, 2 million forced into the desert as refugees, and thousands raped and enslaved.Stop genocide in Sudan.

Stop genocide in Sudan."
