The last I left you with was some information about the New York Times insert ad, but that was before the U.N. General Assembly came to town. For a few days before the assembly, there was a television ad being run asking G.W.B. and the U.N. to do something about the genocide. But as with everything money talks and bullshit walks.
Reuters reports that the peace agreement is on the verge of collapse… though I guess what you could call “the good news” is that the African Union has agreed to stay in Darfur, but is short-changed and under staffed. Meanwhile, the genocide is getting worse.
So is there anything we can do? A divestment campaign, though you wouldn’t know it if you read the Times, seems to be gaining momentum. From what I could find CUNY has been pressured (scroll down to the 6th little blurb) but not yet divested from company’s that contribute to the problem.
Anybody out there think CUNY should divest?
