#BringBackOurGirlsNYC

#BringBackOurGirlsNYC was formed after consultation with the #BringBackOurGirls coalition in Nigeria. It is a coalition of Nigerians, Nigerian Americans, Africans, Diasporan Africans and friends of Nigeria resident in New York City. We intend to redouble our efforts and continue to protest until these girls are brought back to their families.

#1000DaysOn: Prayer Vigil for Our #ChibokGirls at The House of The Lord Church, Brooklyn


May the peace and blessings of the season abide with you and your loved ones now and always.  Although it would have been great to celebrate their rescue instead, #BringbackOurGirlsNYC will have a commemoration of the 1000 Days of our Chibok Girls' captivity at 4 pm on January 8, 2017, at The House of the Lord Church, Brooklyn, which is a church that has an activist history, particularly on matters of racial inequality and injustice.  The church is led by Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry, National Minister, and Dr. Karen S. Daughtry, Pastor.  They have been stalwart supporters of BBOGNYC.  
#BringBackOurGirls rejoices that 57 of our girls were able to escape from the brutal insurgent group, Boko Haram.  We also are grateful that 21 girls were released in October, and were able to celebrate Christmas with their families in Chibok. However, we are saddened that 196 #ChibokGirls and thousands of Nigerian women and girls are still in Boko Haram captivity.  

It more important than ever that people of conscience stand up to be counted.  It is important to keep demanding that our #ChibokGirls and all other Nigerians abducted by Boko Haram are rescued and reunited with their families.  Please stand with us.  We invite you to join us in a prayer vigil for the rescue of our 196 #ChibokGirls and the thousands of girls and women still in Boko Haram captivity. We would also appreciate if you could invite people in your networks to join us. Below is the flyer.  Please disseminate widely.
