Melissa Fitzgerald is best known for her role on The West Wing as Carol Fitzpatrick and has recently produced the documentary Voices of Uganda. The documentary is set for a 2008 release and be sure to check out the website at www.voicesofuganda.org.
We were grateful to have Melissa Fitzgerald attend and speak at our December 10th torch relay for Darfur. She read an amazing piece she wrote for the New York Times (I will be posting it in a few days) and had this to say about why she agreed to speak at the event on behalf of Team Darfur:
I believe that our work here – together – might serve to ignite
and sustain a grassroots movement to demand that the
world community, including China, end their support of
programs and business ventures initiated and sustained
by the Sudanese government. Thank you Team Darfur for your ongoing
commitment to the people of Darfur!
