"The Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act (SADA) passed overwhelmingly in the U.S. House of Representatives. Help prevent its being weakened in the Senate. Nebraska Senator Chuck Hegel wants to give President Bush the authority to decide on a case-by-case basis, the right of individual states to divest from Sudan. Contact Senator Hagel's office and urge him not to weaken the most robust legislation yet."

Senator Chris Dodd deserves some thanks for authoring the bill.

Fidelity Out of Sudan!

Fidelity is reducing its holdings in genocide oil, although Fidelity denies its action is the result of public pressure. Warren Buffit also denies that his gradual reduction of Sudan-tainted stocks has to do with moral considerations. Don't listen to these denials. And please keep up the pressure on Fidelity Investments and other companies that are contributing to the Sudan's genocidal economy. Your voices are being heard. Hilton is finally closing down its Khartoum hotel. Canadian oil company Talisman pulled out of Sudan because of public outcry in Canada. See suggestions for other actions below.

Suleiman Jamous is Free

November 2007: Suleiman Jamous is now free, thanks to our advocacy. For an account of his situation, see Julie Flint's article,, Credibility Where It's Due.

How You Can Make a Difference

Write your Congressional Representative demanding less tokenism and more genuine effort toward reviving peace efforts in Darfur. Keep track of legislation via Friends Committee on National Legislation and the Genocide Intervention Network.

Make contributions to on-the-ground organizations such as Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam.

Play an active role in getting your university endowment fund or pension fund to divest from firms doing business in Sudan. Ask: "Does my fund support companies doing business as usual in Sudan?". For on-line help and lists of companies doing business with Sudan, visit the Sudan Divestment Project (sudandivestment.org) and Mia Farrow's web-site (miafarrow.org).

Contribute to a project to bring solar cookers to refugee camps. See The Solar Cooker Project at the Darfur Alert Coalition or Help Women of Darfur (Jewish World Watch).

Contribute to Practical Action, which demonstrates and advocates the sustainable use of appropriate technology to reduce poverty in developing countries. Among their projects are fuel-efficient earthen cookstoves for Sudan.

Become active in your state affiliate of the Save Darfur Coalition, made up mostly of faith-based organizations.
