Divest for Darfur

Have you heard of divestment? It's one of the key tactics that
was successfully used to end apartheid in South Africa and it
can help end the violence in Darfur, too.

To "divest" means to withdraw investments from companies who are
supporting the genocide in Darfur by doing business with the
government of Sudan.

Join me in fighting the genocide by urging Fidelity and other
investment institutions to divest their holdings from any and
all companies doing business with the government of Sudan.

and help cut off financial support for the government-sponsored
violence in Darfur!

Diplomacy is crucial, but economic pressure may prove an even
more powerful way to force Sudan to cooperate with international
efforts to end the genocide.

Sudan has been very responsive to economic pressure in the past
so we have reason to hope that they will pay heed to the
divestment efforts.

Please do not stand by while the violence continues - you can
make a difference.
