On April 30, the Save Darfur Coalition and its partners held a
historic Rally to Stop Genocide on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Over 50,000 people joined with celebrities, politicians, activists and
advocates to call for an end to the tragic genocide in Darfur!

And the momentum continues to build with story after story on TV, online and
in newspapers and magazines around the country - and the world. But we
cannot let up. We are committed to ending the genocide in Sudan's Darfur
region by pressuring the United States government to resolve the crisis.
That is why we launched the Million Voices for Darfur campaign.
Former U.S. Senator Paul Simon said of the tragic 1994 genocide in
Rwanda: "If every member of the House and Senate had received 100 letters
from people back home saying we have to do something about Rwanda, when the
crisis was first developing, then I think the response would have been
different."
We are committed to making that difference for the people of Darfur.
To accomplish this, the Save Darfur Coalition works to:
- Generate more media coverage of the genocide in Darfur
- Promote Darfur-related legislation through outreach to members of
Congress
- Support local efforts to raise awareness of the Darfur crisis
- Act as a clearinghouse for information about the situation in Darfur
We can help end the genocide in Darfur - and we must!
