Additional Ongoing Actions for Darfur

Please make your voice heard and keep the pressure up on our elected officials

• Text 90822 to send a message about Darfur to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton! Create your own message or text "Take immediate action to restore aid to Darfur!"  Thousands of activists across the country are applying pressure by texting this number.  Make sure Secretary Clinton sees how urgently aid is needed by sending your own message today.
• Call 1-800-Genocide, the first-ever anti-genocide hotline. Call today to be connected directly to your elected officials for free. All you need is your zip code.
• Call the WhiteHouse at 202-456-1111 with a message of support for Darfur. The WhiteHouse comment line can be reached Monday - Friday, 9-5 EST.
• Your 401K can help end genocide. If you have at least $2,000 invested in a mutual fund and have held that fund for at least a year, you can submit a shareholder proposal. It's easy and each volunteer makes a difference by extending the reach of the campaign.  Contact proposals@investorsagainstgenocide.org if you are willing to help stop the money supply to those who perpetrate genocide.
