You can act now to produce action in the U.N. By David Rubenstein There is good news -- the new UN Secretary-General recently stated publicly that Darfur will be one of his first top priorities. However, despite Secretary-General Ban's initial public commitment to Darfur, the UN has many other competing priorities and the Secretary-General will be faced with some very difficult decisions in the coming year. Ban Ki-Moon must do everything in his power to make Sudanese President Bashir respect his commitments, as well as to mobilize the necessary troops, funding and logistics from UN member states. Will you help us make sure that Secretary-General Ban stays focused on ending the crisis in Darfur? Click here now to send a letter urging the new UN Secretary-General to make Darfur one of his top priorities. The situation in Darfur has never been more urgent. Two weeks ago, the Sudanese government breached a hopeful 60-day ceasefire when military planes bombed Darfuri civilians. There were also reports of UN staff being assaulted by Sudanese police the weekend before last. That is why we need your help to make
sure that Secretary-General Ban hears from millions of people
around the world with the urgent
message to act quickly in Darfur before hundreds of thousands
more lives are lost to the violence. Once you've signed the petition, please
forward this message to your friends and family and ask them
to join you in contacting the new Secretary-General. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the National Week of Student Action (March 26-30), students and youth can help us take this activism to the next level. Help us top last year's record-setting registration of more than 1,500 groups and individuals who took action in the United States and worldwide. |
