As the genocide in Darfur continues ("Is It Ok That They're Dying Because They're Just Black People?") there are steps we can take to help end the killing. From savedarfur.org:
Write to President George Bush and ask that he take the immediate steps needed to help bring peace and security to the people of Darfur.
Send your friends and family an email encouraging them to check out SaveDarfur.org and then write their own online postcard to President Bush.
Wear the green band to show your support for the people of Darfur. Wearing a wristband has proven to be a highly effective way for our grassroots members to engage others in conversations about the crisis in Darfur. To become an effective spokesperson for the people of Darfur, we urge you to check out our backgrounder and talking points.
Letters to the editor are one of the most commonly read items in a newspaper. They serve as a forum to represent the voice of the public. Seeing these letters in print will make it clear to community leaders, elected officials, and national and international officials, that ending the genocide in Darfur is important to citizens.
Team up with other concerned members of your community and organize offline activities to educate your community, lobby your elected officials, and generate local coverage of the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
