Enough Project executive director, John Norris posted in the Enough Said blog, We Failed. Do you want us to be failures? We're hearing that not enough of a fuss is being raised in Congressional home offices & Senate offices. Not one journalist called on at last evening's Presidential press conference asked about Sudan. If you've been emailing & calling, then we apologize. And we do know that things are bad everywhere--hey, you needn't tell us. Here's a link to Enough Project's Speak Out to Congress. Channel your worries & frustration by turning in to a constructive pest. It probably burns calories, too. If you're outside the U.S., still visit Enough Project but also contact your foreign office & raise holy hell. For that matter, everyone can contact news organizations...they respond but it has to be a push. It may seem like there's unlimited time/space but last time we looked, there are still 24 hours in a day. African-based reporters have to "sell" their stories, they have to fight to be heard/read/seen. It's not easy for them either. More hits on a Darfur/Congo/Zimbabwe/ story link (especially, sadly, from outside of Africa) help that reporter & their editor argue for more space/time/attention. Really. That's how it works. Now go get'em!
