A Genocide We Can Stop:: Darfur, Sudan
I have written and posted many entries about Darfur in my
xanga. For those of you visiting my site for the first time, this can
be quite confusing. Genocide? What? Where?For your conveniance, I have summarized a few links to make things a bit easier.

What YOU can do to help Darfur...1)Contact your Congressmen/Senators!
Call them! Write a letter! Tell them YOU care about this genocide in
Darfur and ask them what they're doing about it? [Sample letters and
outlines will be posted shortly.]2)Raise awareness by handing out
flyers, planning presentations and simply telling people about the
genocide in Darfur! Organize your own event in your
city/school/organization to raise awareness!3) Donate to Medicines San Frontiers (Doctors without Borders). Provide humanitarian relief to the people of Darfur!
4) Support 'Save Darfur' by buying a wristband at www.SaveDarfur.org !
5) Pray , Pray, Pray!
