Dear Active Citizen,

This Sunday, April 14^th, marks 10 years since 276 Chibok schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram terrorists. An unconscionable decade of their parents facing this haunting question: "Is my child still alive?"

For 3,650 nights, they have grappled with the injustice of their daughters' stolen freedom and humanity. With 91 young women still unaccounted for, these families' horrific nightmares remain unresolved.

Join us this Sunday if you are in Lagos or Abuja as we commemorate 10 years and demand answers from the Nigerian government on the plight of the remaining girls in captivity.

To register your attendance in Lagos, please visit bit.ly/10YearsTooLong.
