This petition is to make our nation aware of the cries of Darfur. Your signiture lets our government know we care and want a change now.
We call on you to lead our nation and the international community in taking strong and decisive action to stop the violence, provide sufficient humanitarian aid for those in camps, hold the perpetrators accountable, and establish conditions for the safe, voluntary, and dignified return of survivors to their homes.
The presidential inaugural address included these words: "America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause... All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors."
We are counting on you to give life to these words. We urge you to do what it takes to end the violence, protect the helpless, and end this genocide.
