OFF TOPIC - Help stop the genocide in Darfur

[Guest guest]

Anti-Genocide Activists,

Are the candidates for president committed to stopping genocide in Darfur?

Last week, former Senator and former New York City Mayor Giuliani pledged to join Senators Brownback and Obama in divesting their personal holdings from companies helping to fund genocide in Darfur.

Sign the petition calling on all the candidates to ensure that their investments are not helping to fund genocide.

You will join 21 state legislators* in Iowa — a key state in the primary election — who have called on the candidates for president to divest their personal holdings.

In the ENOUGH Project’s most recent report, Prendergast and Colin -Jensen write that, “If there is a Guinness Book of World Records entry for most threats issued with no follow up, the international community’s response to Darfur is likely setting a new standard.â€

Sign the petition calling on the candidates for president to do more than “talk the talk†on Darfur.

Personal divestment shows a commitment to real economic pressure that can force the government of Sudan to back down and lends support to the global Sudan divestment movement which includes hundreds of states, cities, institutions and private investors. To screen your own investments, click here.
