2247 Rayburn House Office Building
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) will hold a news conference this Wednesday to announce its recommendations designed to ensure that the fragile peace between the Khartoum government in the Northern and Southern regions is sustained and strengthened.
U.S. leadership is crucial to achieving the gains for peace that have been made to date in Sudan, including the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). The CPA ended Africa's longest civil war, one in which two million people lost their lives and four million were driven from their homes. Implementing the CPA has reached a critical stage, with a referendum scheduled to take place this year on the future status of South Sudan in 2011. If the CPA is allowed to unravel, the chances of renewed hostilities between North and South Sudan will greatly increase, and the chances of achieving peace in Darfur will be significantly diminished.
Joining USCIRF will be U.S. Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health; U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA)**, co-chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and a member of the House Appropriations Committee; and John Prendergast, Co-Chair of the Enough Project, which "is helping to build a permanent constituency to prevent genocide and crimes against humanity."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor the status of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief abroad, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments, and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and the Congress. For more information about the Commission, see www.uscirf.gov.

Join Children Mending Hearts for an event honoring International Medical Corps for their dedication in supporting the women and children victimized by war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Special performance by Sheryl Crow
Sponsored by Wonderwall.com
Democratic Republic of Congo has suffered 20 years of relentless fighting that has led to an estimated 5.4 million deaths – more than any conflict since World War II – and displaced another three million. The conflict has also produced some of the most horrific cases of sexual and gender-based violence in the world today, with more than 54,000 rapes reported since 2004. This event will raise awareness of the dire circumstances and provide much needed support to the most vulnerable people in war – women and children.
WHEN: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 @ 6:30 PM
WHERE: House of Blues - 8430 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069
WHO: Hosted by "good night, and good luck" writer/producer Grant Heslov, and his wife Lysa Heslov, the gathering supports International Medical Corps efforts to provide life-saving health care to children and women in the Democratic Republic of Congo and around the world. Powerful stories of these women and children will be shared through art and brought back to your communities. At the event, Lysa will introduce her charity, Children Mending Hearts, which will support her ongoing work of establishing art exchanges with children in conflict zones around the world.
Lysa Heslov traveled to the DR Congo in January 2009. She filmed her efforts to raise awareness of the ongoing atrocities and set up a creative art therapy workshop for the children – all part of her commitment to International Medical Corps and her dedication to helping children of the Congo. Framed photos taken in Congo and lanterns created during the art workshops will be available for sale at the fundraiser.
Friends expected to attend: Ben Affleck, Sheryl Crow, Anderson Cooper, Marisa Tomei, Forrest Whitaker, Kevin Spacey, Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Felicity Huffman, Kate Walsh, Rainn Wilson, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Vinessa Shaw, Elizabeth Berkeley, Hank Azaria, Patricia Heaton, Tate Donovan, Deion Sanders, Heather Graham, Marshall Faulk, Laura San Giacomo, John Prendergast, and many others.
WHAT: A Celebrity-Hosted Live Auction with performances by confirmed Musical Guests: Sheryl Crow, Vusi Mahlasela, Timothy Mitchum & Carol Woods (from Across the Universe), and others.

Presents a Public Lecture by
John Prendergast
“The Darfur Genocide: What You Can Do To Help End It”
John Prendergast, co-author of Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond, will speak at the University of Vermont on Monday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. in the Grand Maple Ballroom of the Dudley H.

Prendergast is co-chair of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide and crimes against humanity. He is an internationally renowned activist, former government official, and the author of eight books on Africa, including the above New York Times bestseller that he co-wrote with actor Don Cheadle, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in Hotel Rwanda.
While on campus Prendergast will address classes, meet with UVM STAND (Students Taking Action Now: Darfur), and other individuals and groups seeking to help find a solution to international conflicts, especially those in Darfur and the Congo. He will also be available to speak to the media from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Old Mill, Room 523.
During the Clinton administration Prendergast served as the National Security Council's director of African affairs and was special advisor at the Department of State.

Prendergast's op-eds have appeared in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today, and he has been profiled in Vanity Fair, Men's Vogue, the Washington Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer.

Many of us are familiar with the trans-Atlantic slave trade, but did you know that between 1800-1860, the domestic slave trade in the United States was responsible for the forced migration of more than 750,000 enslaved men, women and children from the Upper South to the Lower South? This number is larger than the number of slaves transported via the trans-Atlantic slave trade to North America. Join African Diaspora for Change for an important lesson in history as we celebrate Black History Month with scheduled tours of the Freedom House Museum on Saturday, February 28 @ 2 pm.
Below: Migration Exhibit panel from Freedom House Museum
The Franklin and Armfield Company was largest and most successful domestic slave trading firm in America. Beginning in 1828, the firm purchased local slaves and sent them to the Deep South for sale. In a spin of poetic justice, the Northern Virginia Urban League-an organization dedicated to empowering communities and changing lives-moved into Freedom House in 1996. Experience the fascinating story of 1315 Duke Street-a legacy of triumph and foundation for the future. The tour is FREE but you need to RSVP to info@ad4change.org to reserve your space.
