The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) has teamed up with
the Genocide Intervention Network (GI-Net) for an intensive two-day
advocacy campaign on Capitol Hill on March 22nd and 23rd to encourage
decisive Congressional action to help end the cycle of genocide.

The program, titled "End the Cycle of Genocide: Grassroots Capitol
Campaign," will begin with a special breakfast briefing on the morning
of March 22nd followed by two full days of Congressional visits to
encourage US action to stop the Genocide in Darfur, the adoption of
the Armenian Genocide resolution (H.Res.106), and the strengthening
of US resolve to act against all instances of genocide.

Activists will be able to share their experiences, exchange ideas,
communicate with Members of Congress, and add new connections to the
growing national anti-genocide coalition at a special Capitol Hill
reception on the evening of Thursday, March 22nd.

"The Grassroots Capitol Campaign is a great opportunity for genocide
prevention activists to demand decisive US action in ending forever
the cycle of genocide," said Genocide Intervention Network Executive
Director Mark Hanis. "Together we will take our powerful anti-genocide
message to the halls of Congress and make a real difference."

"We are looking forward to cooperating with our friends at the
Genocide Intervention Network in helping to empower activists – from
all backgrounds – to build the anti-genocide constituency into a
powerful force that demands and delivers moral clarity and decisive
action by our government against all genocides – past and present,"
said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian.
