On Thursday January 29th, 2009 Hundreds of members from the Tamil and non-Tamil community united outside the U.S Congress to protest the ungoing Sri Lankan civil war. The war first started in the late 70's and is still battleing. The war between the majority Singalese government and minority Tamil Tigers rebell group has killed over thousands of innocent families! International, UNO's and Government support needs to take immediate action! The next day, the worlds largest human chain took place near union station as even more protestors hit the streets of downtown, T.O. There was an estimated of 10 000 people who showed up with anti- war signs and high spirits of hope to put a halt to the war. No one is gonna sit down and watch the crisis overseas. We need to react and take action NOW!
