Dear Jesse, Arbitrary shootings. Merciless beatings. Our common humanity demands an urgent response. Only 5 days left to reach $200,000. Please make your gift today. | A college student shot by Sudanese security forces because the color of his hair and skin resembled that of Darfuri rebels. Paramilitary and security forces going from house to house, arresting men and boys, throwing them in trucks and speeding them off to unknown destinations. These are fragments of daily life in Sudan. This is more than a crime scene. This is genocide. We cannot stand idly by as genocide continues. Nearly a year has passed since the U.N. resolved to send peacekeepers to Darfur—we need your support to make sure they don't forget their promise. We have only 5 days left to raise $200,000. Please make a secure online donation today. There are hopeful signs, and your activism has made a profound difference. The recent joint statement on Darfur from Senators Clinton, McCain, and Obama was historic—the first time since World War II that presidential rivals have come together on a foreign policy issue. But the people of Darfur shouldn't have to weather seven more months of unspeakable atrocities until a new U.S. president takes office. We will continue to demand accountability from the current president, from those who want to be president, and from everyone with the power to address this humanitarian crisis. But we can't do any of that without your support. We are still $165,000 away from our $200,000 goal for this critical campaign. Send a gift before the end of the month and help chart the path to peace for Darfur. Our common humanity demands action. There isn't a moment to lose. Best regards, Colleen Connors Save Darfur Coalition
