One Quick Call Makes A Difference!
Action: Call 1-800-GENOCIDE TODAY!
Why: Today is a really important day in the fight to wake up our Ministry officials to ending the genocide in Darfur and if you’re in the US then your step to taking action is just a phone call today.
Are you walking to class? Do you have time for a quick phone call?
Today: Monday, March 31, there is a NATIONAL call-in day
urging your representatives to approve an additional $334 million to
support peacekeeping in Sudan!
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
UNAMID is essentially a big peacekeeping force sponsored by the African Union and the United Nations in Darfur protecting people’s lives–but there is not nearly enough of them and they do not have enough supplies.
The people of Darfur CANNOT be protected if the people protecting them are lacking basic supplies. Please tell the US government that we need to put our money where our mouth is – we’ve promised to do something about ending the genocide in Darfur but actions speak louder than words.
We need money for UNAMID to be enforced!
And all you have to do is call 1-800-GENOCIDE and the line will give instructions to make the call and what to say. Don’t be nervous! They make it really easy and you’re actually doing something to make a real difference and it only takes about two minutes!

Hello,
My name is Steve. I work as a traineru (under the ACOTA program) preparing UNAMID forces deploying to Darfur. I strongly agree we need to do much more in providing funding for these peacekeepers. I have sent this to my friends throughout the United States. We need to ensure they have the tools to safely and effectively accomplish their Mission in Darfur. Thanks for doing your part. I will continue to do mine.
