Dear Friend,
I am writing to let you know about what’s happening in Darfur. As you may have heard, a campaign of rape, slaughter and displacement is currently being carried out in the western region of Sudan, the largest country in Africa. Government-supported troops have displaced 2.5 million people in the past two years, hundreds of thousands have died due to attacks, disease and starvation, and it is estimated that 500 men, women and children continue to die every day.
Yet in the face of this dire situation, there are things that we can do to help. Most importantly, we can put pressure on our national leaders to take immediate action. President Bush and the United States Congress have recognized the situation in Darfur as “genocide,” but it will take much more than words to end the violence and suffering in Darfur. In fact this recognition imposes a legal obligation, let alone the inherent moral obligation, upon the U.S. to take action to stop the genocide.
If our leaders made Darfur a priority, hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved. But without constant pressure from individuals, the policy of inaction will continue. Please join me in calling for immediate attention to Darfur and more robust action on behalf of the U.S. to support security efforts in the region. Visit www.MillionVoicesforDarfur.org to send an online postcard to President Bush and to learn more about what is happening in Darfur and what you can do to help.
Sincerley,
