Global Action for Zimbabwe

Target: UN Security Council and African leaders
Sponsored by: Care2

As violence escalates due to President Mugabe's ruthless efforts to stay in power and crush the opposition, hope fades for free and fair elections. The people of Zimbabwe are suffering from intimidation, torture and other horrific abuses such as rape and food deprivation.

This wave of political violence has taken a devastating human toll since the March 29th election, with over 200,000 people internally displaced, 86 opposition supporters killed, 10,000 people injured, and 500 women and girls sexually abused or raped.

Zimbabwe's recent ban on international aid groups in the country has left up to half a million Zimbabwean children without health care and food. The Mugabe regime is distributing food mostly to its supporters and if the situation continues, it could lead to massive starvation.

Sign now to condemn the acts of violence occurring in Zimbabwe: urge the UN Security Council and Zimbabwe's neighbors to do everything in their power to help put an end to the horrific bloodshed and to restore peace and the rule of law.

To the United Nations Security Council and the Southern African Development Community:

We cannot remain silent while the political violence gripping Zimbabwe continues to claim thousands of innocent victims. We urge you to do everything in your power to help put an end to the horrific bloodshed and to restore peace and the rule of law.

The wave of political violence has taken a high human toll with over 200,000 people internally displaced, over 86 opposition supporters killed, 10,000 people injured and maimed, and about 500 women and girls sexually abused an raped.

Zimbabwe's recent ban on international aid groups and NGOS in the country has left up to half a million Zimbabwean children without health care and food. The Mugabe regime is distributing food mostly to its supporters and if the situation continues, it could lead to massive starvation.

We urge you to keep the pressure on the Zimbabwean government to hold free and fair elections and to immediately open the doors for international groups and non-profits providing aid.

This man-made disaster will not stop unless the international community gets involved. The people of Zimbabwe need your help right now. Please do not wait any longer to help put an end to Mugabe's violent crackdown.

We signed the “Global Action for Zimbabwe” petition!

How can we stand by and watch this horrible wave of abuse to continue. Vulnerable people especially children should be able to live without fear.
