Whereas it's Genocide....

So, this past Wednesday, a few members of Congress introduced this resolution to recognize and commend the work of U.S. citizens to raise awareness and push for an end to the genocide and humanitarian crisis in Darfur.

The resolution urges the U.S. government to "work with its partners in the international community to implement a more robust set of multilateral measures until [Sudanese] President El-Bashir accepts a full-scale international peace-keeping force in Sudan."

Ok, that's a fine resolution. Let's keep up and step up the pressure . . . and stop this genocide.

Whereas it's GENOCIDE, be it resolved that conscientious global citizens will continue to pressure decision makers and power brokers to do all they can to stop it. Join us.

Devesh - Indeed, a big part of the challenge is raising awareness of what is happening - and the more people who know, the more pressure they can put on their decision makers (who DO know there's a genocide in Darfur) to take actions to make change.
