To the Editor:
Tremendous generosity—that’s the only way we can describe it. With spring upon us, it would have been easy for Bowdoin to have been apathetic. The end of the semester is near and the Sudan seems so very far away. Yet your response was nothing short of extraordinary. Students, faculty, and staff came together last Thursday to sign a petition, to lend a few dollars and say “We care.” We’d like to thank those of you who stood up to genocide and refused to look the other way. Your generosity has helped the Genocide Intervention Fund move much closer to our goal of a million dollars and put Maine’s congressional delegation on notice that Bowdoin is deeply concerned about the ongoing genocide in the Sudan. If you would like to give to the Fund, please send any donations via campus mail and address the envelopes to STANDFast (no SU Box number needed). For more information, visit www.genocideinterventionfund.org.
Sincerely,
Matt Martin ’07 Americans for Informed Democracy
