As we are fully engaged in the Durban 2009 process, we are calling on our supporters for help. Even though the United States goverment is not going to be part of the process, it is clear that there is a direct connection between the lack of the participation of the U.S. in the Durban process, and the failure of U.S. authorities to address the continuation of racially discriminatory practices in this country.

Therefor our work as civil society and of NGO’s must continue. Paola Arce is a young Internally Displaced Person from Colombia that is now residing as an outstanding student at Benedict, South Carolina.

Please help Paola and other students and youth activists attend the Preparatory Meeting in Brasilia, Brazil this coming June. We need to raise $5,000.00 (Five Thousand Dollars), to ensure that youths participate in this important process. Please donate now, we need your support.
