ANCA LAUNCHES "CLICK FOR JUSTICE" CAMPAIGN
DeFacto Agency, Armenia
April 20 2007
Today the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) escalated its
nation-wide campaign to end the cycle of genocide with the launch
of its "Click for Justice" internet campaign, slated to become the
nation's largest online genocide protest.
>>From April 20th to 30th, the ANCA website homepage, www.anca.org,
will feature a special "Click for Justice" banner, directing
e-advocates from across the country to a targeted Congressional
WebMail message. In letters to their Senators and Representatives,
these advocates will call for the passage of the Congressional
Armenian Genocide Resolution (H.Res.106 & S.Res.106) and urge the
U.S. government to take concrete steps to end the ongoing killing
in Darfur.
The 10-day program will be accompanied by extensive netroots outreach
programs to MySpace and Facebook members, as well as partnership with
Armenian American and human rights organizations in this internet
initiative. Over 100,000 postcards promoting the "Click for Justice"
campaign are being distributed at events and university campuses
across the country. Organizations and student associations wishing
to participate in the initiative can email [email protected].
"Take a moment today to send a clear signal to the officials who
represent you in Washington that you expect them to deliver results in
the fight against genocide," said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director
of the ANCA. "In less than two minutes, you can be part of the growing
wave of Americans, who are committed to ending the cycle of genocide."
The "Click for Justice" effort comes in the wake of the ANCA and
Genocide Intervention Network sponsored "End the Cycle of Genocide"
advocacy days on Capitol Hill, which brought together over 100
anti-genocide advocates from across the U.S. for a two-day Capitol
Hill campaign in support of Armenian Genocide legislation, targeted
divestment from Sudan, and calls for concrete U.S. steps to stop the
Genocide in Darfur.
