SAVE DARFUR By: Samantha Graue

About The Darfur Foundation The main goal is to support peace in Darfur, Sudan. They are inspiring action, raising awareness and speaking truth to power on behalf of the people of Darfur. They are working with world leaders, we are demanding an end to the genocide, and our efforts are getting results.

History of The Darfur Foundation The Save Darfur Coalition was founded at the "Darfur Emergency Summit in New York City" on July 14, The Coalition began when the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and American Jewish World Service organized this event at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan featuring Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Elie Wiesel. The coalition has grown into an alliance of more than 180 religious, political and human rights organizations committed to ending the alleged genocide in Darfur. Save Darfur is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a staff of 30 professional organizers, policy advisors and communications specialists.

Initiatives On January 12, 2006, the Coalition launched the "Million Voices for Darfur" campaign with the goal of collecting one million postcards from individuals across the country to send to President Bush urging the United States government to support a larger, stronger multinational force to protect the civilians of Darfur. The campaign concluded on June 29, 2006 with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) and Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) signing the 1,000,000th and 1,000,001st postcards. Save Darfur coordinated a widely-successful "Save Darfur: Rally to Stop Genocide" on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on April 30, The crowd of an estimated 100,000 supporters joined.

More Information The Save Darfur Coalition has built a worldwide movement that has brought the crisis in Darfur to the world's attention. U.S. officials in both the Democratic and Republican parties have also praised the coalition On June 1, 2007, the Washington Post quoted George W. Bush's special envoy to Sudan, Andrew S. Natsios, as saying, "The Save Darfur Coalition has kept this issue in the news media and before the public and has focused the issue in a way that hasn’t happened in foreign relations maybe since the South Africa anti-apartheid movement"

Information Continued… The Save Darfur Coalition has a powerful political organization. It organized rallies in support of Darfur around the world. It has helped organize more than 350 rallies in 41 countries on 6 continents for the Global Days for Darfur campaign The coalition's network of one million online activists has submitted more than 15,000 letters to the editor, sent more than 215,000 s to the U.S. Congress, and more than 1.1 million s to the White House.
