Genocide Awareness Day

Good morning Monomoy! Welcome to Peace Week! Our goal this week is to make students more aware of peace and justice issues around the world. As Martin Luther King said; “True peace in not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice” and “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” That’s why we in STAND advocate for human rights and an end to genocide. Genocide did not begin or end with the Holocaust. There have been many genocides in recent decades and some are still happening today. At lunch, there will be handouts on the tables that will give more information and will ask you to take specific actions to support the efforts to end genocide in the modern world. Thank you in advance for your attention and support this week.
