Petition to Stop Genocide in Darfur

Africa Action is running a petition calling on President Bush to take urgent action to stop the genocide in Darfur. The petition calls on the
President to do everything necessary through the United Nations (UN) to ensure an urgent
multinational intervention to protect civilians in Darfur. Africa Action hopes to gather 400,000 signatures on this petition over the summer.

Last year, Africa Action sponsored a petition drive aimed at former Secretary of State Colin Powell demanding the Darfur crisis be recognized as genocide. That petition drew 30,000 signatures in three weeks, and directly contributed to the acknowledgement by the
Administration that genocide was occurring in Darfur.
