We NEED you tomorrow NYC! ~ Sarah Shourd
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow is Friday, the big day already! I am writing because I noticed on Facebook that there are quite a few people that have signed up as “maybes” for the protest tomorrow for Shane and Josh in NYC. I just want to say, if there’s ANY doubt in your mind as to whether your presence will make a difference, let me reassure you it will make a HUGE difference to me, to Shane and Josh’s families, supporters and to the large entourage of media outlets from around the world that we expect to be there tomorrow!
Having a big group of supportive people standing by us tomorrow will turn what is bound to be a very difficult day at the end of a long, stressful week (at the end of two arduous, unbelievable years!) into a very difficult but BEAUTIFUL experience. Please, please try and come out! Hopefully, we’ll be telling Shane and Josh all about it very soon!
RSVP to and share our event blog post and facebook event listing! Thank you!
Big Love! Sarah
