#BringBackOurGirlsNYC rejoices that 57 of our girls were able to escape from the brutal insurgent group, Boko Haram.  


We are saddened that 196 #ChibokGirls and thousands of Nigerian women and girls are still in Boko Haram captivity.  

People of conscience must stand up to be counted  
We must 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 this prayer vigil for the rescue of our 196 #ChibokGirls and the thousands of girls and women still in Boko Haram captivity. 

Do invite people in your networks to join us. 

Please wear something RED
