UUSC: HONORING THE SHARPS, DRUMBEAT FOR DARFUR

In January, the US House of Representatives and the Senate passed a resolution honoring Martha and Waitstill Sharp for their work for the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) in saving Jewish children from the Holocaust in wartime France. In their resolution, House and Senate members recognized that work like that of the Sharps is still desperately needed today, particularly in Darfur where genocide is still raging. The UUSC has launched a campaign called “Drumbeat for Darfur” to move this issue up the list of priorities for the new Congress. For more information on the historic work of the Sharps and the current efforts on behalf of Darfur, see: http://www.uusc.org.
