Darfur Petition
At Leakycon this weekend, the Harry Potter Alliance is asking conference-goers to sign postcards that ask President Obama to keep Darfur a priority and do whatever it takes to end the genocide. All of these postcards will then be sent to the White House. We hope to get 300 postcards signed this weekend.
However, we also need you all to participate by signing postcards online.
The Save Darfur Coalition, ENOUGH Project, and GI-NET, the three leading anti-genocide organizations in the US, have written an open letter detailing what it would take to end the genocide – and you can add your name to this letter very easily.
As the rainy season approaches in Darfur, and aid organizations have not yet been let back in, estimates suggest that as many as 1 million people are at risk in Darfur. It’s not just about letting those aid organizations back in – it’s about making a strong statement that we want to end the genocide now.
You can read and sign the full letter asking Obama to take action here:

You can also call 1-800-Genocide and ask your representative to keep Darfur a priority in the coming months.
