Alicia Keys Stages Peaceful Protest Outside Nigerian Consulate in N Y for Abducted Nigerian School Girls (727 hits)
Oct 14, 2014- The rest of the world may have forgotten about the girls kidnapped from a school in Nigeria, but Alicia Keys has not and she’s doing something about it.
As of Tuesday, it’s been six months since Boko Haram abducted more than 230 girls in the middle of the night. Some of them have been able to escape, but not all of them are home with their families yet. Like many people, Alicia wants each and every one of the girls returned home safely.
Since the girls were kidnapped—and because people generally can’t seem to focus on more than one cause at a time-Alicia held a protest outside of the Nigerian Consulate in New York today. The Huffington Post reports that she and her husband, Swizz Beatz, gathered with 30 people to demand, “Bring back our girls!”
They could also be heard chanting, “When do we want them? Now! Now! Alive!”
