Congress members arrested at Darfur protest

Six Congress members were arrested a few hours ago at a protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., including Rep. Jim McGovern from Massachusetts.

Staff members from UUSC also joined in this protest, spotlighting the first of many events happening as part of the Save Darfur rally this weekend.

"Words are no longer enough. It is time for action," McGovern said. "This is the first genocide of the 21 st century. The world has said, 'Never again.' Those words must mean something." (From the San Francisco Chronicle)
