The Fierce Urgency of Now: YEMEN!
• Monday, February 25, 4–7pm
In Yemen, people struggle to ward off mass starvation. As many as 14 million people have so little to eat that they are "one step away from starvation." Join "Raising Voices for Yemen" activists for an afternoon to raise awareness and also raise funds. Activists who blocked the entrance to the U.S. Mission to the UN will appear in court on the morning of February 25th. Their continued campaign will benefit from assistance to cover court and transportation expenses.
