A Mic Stand For Darfur

On April, 19th 2007 Art as an Agent for Change held its very own Mic Stand. The show was a fundraiser for UNICEF's emergency relief efforts in Darfur. A. Mic Stand is an event where various artists, persons, etc. take a stand for or against a particular issue. A.A.C. chose this occassion to take a stand against the injustice that is occurring in Sudan. We hope that our efforts make a difference and that we inspire others to also make a difference. Envelopes with a list of all of Georgia's U.S. House and Senate memebers were handed out along with a sample letter at the Mic Stand. The audience was asked to take a letter and write to one of our State Representatives or Senators when they left the show.
