President Obama is currently planning a trip to China -- and high on his priority list needs to be addressing the situation in Sudan. President Obama recently released a new policy for addressing the genocide in the Darfur region, in which he renewed sanctions on Sudan while simultaneously offering incentives for cooperation on issues like terrorism.
Such a carrot-and-stick approach can work -- but only if President Obama backs it up with a multilateral strategy. He should start with China, a country that holds deep influence over the Khartoum government and should be his first ally in achieving peace in Sudan.
Urge President Obama to use his upcoming visit to China to address the problems in Darfur.
We took action on “End Genocide in Darfur Through Multilateralism”!

The genocide in Darfur is appalling and has continued for far too long. I appreciate your position on the situation, and urge you to gather support from China and elsewhere to help bring about peace in Sudan.

It is time for China to step forward with all its new economic power and all its communal energy and influence the world more directly with initiatives that favor justice for all.

This is horrible and something must be done. We have so much and these people have so little. Nobody deserves a death like this! Please, do what you can to help the people in Darfur. They are suffering and need anything and everything we can possibly give.

Obviously, this letter was written prior to your trip to China.
It still has other areas of relevancy.

I don't understand why this is taking so long for us to get involved. Cut back in Iraq and Afghanistan and use our resources to save lives.
