Support Life-Saving Humanitarian Aid
There is a desperate need for money to provide humanitarian aid for people in Darfur. Below are some links to organizations you can donate to. They will ensure your money helps save lives.
Support Life-Saving Advocacy
Yet humanitarian aid is only a band-aid solution. The problem in Darfur is fundamentally political, and it can only be solved through advocacy and activism to persuade governments to pressure the Sudanese government to stop attacks. We have a Darfur Advocacy Fund that supports this life-saving work. Money raised so far has helped us coordinate protests and lobbying of the US Congress, resulting in the huge success in July 2004 of declaring Darfur a "genocide" (read more). We have also helped send a camera crew to Sudan to broadcast live from the camps, set up local activist groups around the world, and built and maintained this site. Darfurgenocide.org is a project of Res Publica. (see below for more information)
Please note, in order to donate to us you must set up a "PayPal" account when you click the link above. This is fast, easy, and one of the safest ways for you to donate money online.
Would you like to hear a little more about the use of this fund? So far, we have used the advocacy fund to support the following projects:
- Organized two hunger strikes of several thousand people in all 50 states and worldwide. Click here to see a map of the strikers and their testimonials.
- Sent a camera crew to Darfur to provide up to the minute video footage to international media of the situation on the ground; click here to see an archived webcast with our team.
- Supported rolling protests at Sudanese embassies in other countries, including in Washington DC, where with our partner the Sudan Campaign, we have encouraged several religious leaders and prominent personalities to get arrested.
- Hired a PR firm to train, book, and drive Sudan advocates like John Prendergast and Samantha Power into the mass media in the US and Europe. Together with our partner TrueMajority, we have achieved several major media hits with this approach.
- Provided advice and support to several other organizations working on Darfur, including the Genocide Intervention Fund, the Sudan Campaign, the Save Darfur Coalition, the National Council of Churches, TrueMajority, MTV and many others at international, national and local levels.
- Developed this website to inform several hundred thousand visitors, organize over 35,000 online and grass roots activists, and advocate on Darfur.
- Supported the development of a Public Service Announcement on Darfur to be run on television networks around the US.
