SPEAK OUT
1. Contact your Elected Leaders about Darfur:
  • The Darfur Scorecard: Calling on Congress to Stop Genocide



  • Check out www.darfurscores.org to see your representative's record on Darfur legislation. Then, call 1-800 GENOCIDE for the most current Darfur legislation and talking points. After you learn about the legislation, you'll be connected with your elected official's office. These tools were created by The Genocide Intervention Network, whose mission is to empower individuals and communities with the tools to prevent and stop genocide.

  • Visit 24 Hours for Darfur to learn how you can send a video message to your elected leaders about Darfur.

2. Ask the Candidates How They Will Take Action
