ontvanger: Andrew Natsios, U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan
Tens of thousands of people have been killed in Sudan's Darfur region. Over 220,000 have fled across the border to Chad. Millions more are homeless. Most are women and children, terrified while the fighting continues and security is deteriorating.
We must urge the international community to stand up for the people of Darfur to ensure their protection, to deliver much needed life-saving humanitarian assistance, and to restore peace and stability to the region.
Watch this powerful video below, featuring a call to action from Meryl Streep:
The people of Darfur need action now! Add your name to the petition calling on the U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan to support UN Refugee Agency efforts in Darfur.
Your action will make the difference between life and death.
As an American I am writing to provide my strong support to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and its efforts to help the people of Darfur.
As you know, security is deteriorating. Tens of thousands have been killed. More than 2 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
