What YOU Can Do To Help Prevent and End Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity:
- Join a group working to stop genocide:
- Keep Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in the Spotlight:
- Call 1-800-GENOCIDE to connect with the White House, members of Congress and other elected officials. You will be briefed on the current "ask" prior to being connected.
- Visit one of the National Organizations working against genocide and crimes against humanity for updates on current legislative actions.
- Donate to humanitarian agencies supporting refugees.
- Support the Sudan Divestment Movement.
- Sudan relies heavily on foreign investment to fund its genocidal activity—it is estimated that 70-80% of its oil revenue goes to its military activities. Join the international movement to put economic pressure on the Sudanese government by divesting from companies that fund the Sudanese government’s military activities. Visit www.sudandivestment.org for more information about divestment options for your community, employer, or personal investments.
- Raise Awareness.
- Small actions can make a big difference. Talk to people about what is happening in Darfur, have a dinner for Darfur (ask for donations for humanitarian aid), show a movie (e.g., Darfur Now, The Devil Came on Horseback, Sand and Sorrow), download resources from the internet and hand them out. Read the book Not on Our Watch by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast for more ideas. Be a voice for the people of Darfur.
