Critical News!!!

This morning, the United Nations Security Council passed a
resolution authorizing a peacekeeping force in Darfur.  The presence of
a peacekeeping force is the only measure that will provide the security
the people of Darfur desperately need.

This morning's vote is unmistakable evidence of the effectiveness
that the pressure you, and hundreds of thousands of Darfur activists
like you, have applied to world leaders.  The international community
has shown that the will now exists to end the genocide in Darfur.

Yet, before peacekeepers can be deployed, the resolution says the Sudanese government must first agree to permit them.

This means that we cannot yet let up on the pressure. 
One way to continue to make your voice heard is to attend the "Save
Darfur Now: Voices to End Genocide" rally and concert in New York
City's Central Park on September 17.  Click here for more information.

If
you cannot make it to New York, there are other September 17 events
taking place all over the country and the world as part of a Global Day
for Darfur.  For more information on US events, click here.  And for more information on international events, click here.

As always, thank you for everything you do.
