Update on Darfur Lobbying

As you know, Amnesty is organizing a week of lobbying (April 9-13th) on Darfur. If you have not done so, please go to http://grassroots.amnestyusa.org and search for a delegation in your congressional district!

Last fall, activists across the country got 174 members of the House of Representatives and all 100 Senators to sign a letter urging the Arab league to press Sudan to accept UN peacekeepers in Darfur. With your help, we can do even better on a new letter calling on China to play a constructive role by persuading Al Bashir’s government to stop the violence and allow the peacekeepers protect the civilians of Darfur!
