Cultural Survival Takes Action…

… please do so yourself!

In March, when the Kenyan police attacked a community in Samburu East,  the Samburu there called out for help but received no response from their government pledged to protect them, they turned to the human rights organization, to help get Samburu voices and situation heard. Cultural Survival fights to protect the rights of indigenous peoples world over. Theirs was the only organizational voice which immediately gave the Samburu and KARE a hearing. And within days, CS had posted the first alert on their website, www.culturalsurvival.org, pointing their finger directly at the Kenyan government.

This week, many meetings with KARE and publications later, the Samburu appear once more at the top of Cultural Survival’s mind and website. Kenya (as a prior, British colony) and the other Commonwealth nations begin their annual meeting this Friday Thursday, November 26th. That’s the day after Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. 

The Commonwealth’s Secretary General has invited people to share their concerns with him: please click on the link below and follow Cultural Survival’s lead. Tell him the Kenyan government must stop killing its own citizens, the Samburu of Northern Kenya.

Can you give the Samburu something to be thankful for too?
