Million Voices for Darfur

Since February, 2003, an estimated 400,000 men, women, and children have lost their lives in an ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Millions more have been forced from their homes, fleeing for their lives.

While we and other advocacy organizations have been urging specific actions since the crisis began, the key decision makers have not yet felt the public pressure necessary to force them to act. The Million Voices for Darfur campaign has been designed to help millions of Americans make their voices heard, and to compel their elected leaders to act.


 
Tree-By-Tree Project

Thousands of children all over the world have participated in the Tree-By-Tree project, purchasing one tree at a time with the goal of creating and dedicating a forest in Israel in memory of the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust.

The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education together with the Jewish National Fund and Kehillat Yozma (The Reform Congregation of Modiin, Israel) inaugurated this unique forest in February 2007 in Modiin, Israel. To learn more about how the project continues to evolve, please visit: www.yozma.org.il/mail/eng/tree07-b.htm
