| Amazing. In just a few days, we have sent nearly 40,000 emails to President Obama asking him to take action for Sudan. Many of you have asked, “What more can I do to help?”
Take a moment to call the White House and tell them to do everything in our power to stop a war in Sudan before it begins. Dial 1-800-GENOCIDE to be connected toll-free to the White House. As the January 9 referenda on self-determination for South Sudan and Abyei approach, which could result in Sudan splitting in two, and as the situation in Darfur continues to deteriorate, we must continue to pressure the administration to do everything they can for the people of Sudan. Dial 1-800-GENOCIDE (1-800-436-6243) now to be connected toll-free to the White House. Talking points will be provided before you are connected. You can add your own personal message as well. Your call will absolutely make a difference for Sudan. |
