Help Save Darfur

Millions of people face death, rape, torture, starvation and disease.

Please don't wait any longer to get involved.

Click here now to sign the petition to President Bush and the UN Secretary-General.

Did you know that 2.5 million people have already been driven from their homes in Darfur, Sudan?

Each day, these people face threats that are hard for many of us to even imagine -- rape, murder, disease, torture, and starvation.

These people need our help to stop this genocide and they need it NOW.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of people in the region who desperately need outside help.

Please join the Save Darfur Coalition in urging the international community
to prevent further killings, displacement, and rape by:

Deploying the UN peacekeeping force that has already been authorized
Strengthening the understaffed African Union force that is already in Darfur
Establishing a no-fly zone
Increasing humanitarian aid
Ensuring access for the delivery of food, medication and other essential supplies.

Please do not stand by while the violence continues – you can make a difference.

Then please forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join you.

Thank you for your help.

All the best,

David Rubenstein
