Via e-mail from eRobin: "The latest Passion of the Present project is to hold a Day of Conscience this Wednesday, August 25. Please talk it up. Link to the Day of Conscience site, where people can get suggestions for activities that range from very simple (donating money to relief groups, wearing a green ribbon and passing out as many as you can to friends) to the more complicated (vigils).Thanks!" eRobin suggests we post about Dafur tomorrow but I'm woefully ignorant of much beyond "it's a genocidal horror" so I'm going to spend as much of the day as I can educating myself. If you have a bit of green cloth to put together a ribbon for tomorrow, and people want to know what it's about, you can make copies of this Word document to hand out. Here's another Word document on actions taking place around the country, courtesy of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, but there are no NY events listed. (Although there has to be something going on around these parts, as the UJA Federation has signed on as well.) And here's the online donation page.
