Help Darfur

To:  United States Elected Officials

I, alongside people and organizations from around the United States, call on my elected officials to:

Get peacekeepers to Darfur, and help them secure essential equipment. Less than half of the mandated UNAMID force has been deployed, and the force in Darfur lacks equipment like helicopters, which are critical for transport and security. We must make sure the world retains the political will to deliver help to the people of Darfur.

Urge China to help end the genocide. We must make sure that China recognizes its responsibility as a rising global power and uses its influence over Sudan to help the people of Darfur.

Increase aid levels and ensure access for aid delivery. Shortfalls in aid mean that people are continually at risk of starvation. Humanitarian organizations must have unfettered access to all who need help.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
