Advocacy and Action
March 22, 2007

Bec Hamilton, co-founder of the Harvard Darfur Action Group and a representative of the Genocide Intervention Network (GI-Net), discusses the movement to prevent genocide in Darfur, especially in regard to student activism, and her work to build a permanent political constituency against genocide and mass atrocity . Bec highlights two of GI-Net's newest initiatives, Darfur Scores, which provides report cards for all members of Congress dependent on their level of action on the Darfur issue; and 1-800-GENOCIDE, a genocide hot-line that will connect you directly with your representative's office.

This interview is the last of three that Voices on Genocide Prevention is producing in conjunction with Facing History and Ourselves. Bec Hamilton will participate in an online discussion on March 26th and 27th which you can join by registering here.
