What we can do for Darfur today
Today the Darfur advocacy group led by Mohammed Yahya is holding a Washington DC rally to ask the US Government to lead the movement toward peace and justice for all of Sudan. The rally will take place from 1-4 in Lafayette Square behind the White House.For those of us who cannot attend, here is what we can do today;
Contact the White House at 202 456 1111
Ask President Obama to help the people of Darfur by supporting the ICC arrest warrant against President Omar Al-Bashir and by ensuring the full deployment of UNAMID peace forces, with an emphasis on their mandate to actively protect the civilian populations and providing UNAMID with all essential logistical support including helicopters.
If you have a twitter account post: White House should support Bashir's arrest warrant, trade sanctions on Sudanese oil and the safe return of the displaced.
