You can help save a life by making a telephone call!

Since 2003, government-backed militias have been terrorizing towns and villages in Darfur , Sudan , that they believe are friendly to anti-government groups.

Americans can use their influence to save lives in Darfur .

How?

Encourage the President to send an international force to support African Union troops in Darfur to protect civilians. Make the " Darfur Calls" pledge to call the White House twice a week and pass this information to everyone you know who wants to be part of the solution . . .

Call President Bush at (202) 456-1111 and ask him to assert U.S. leadership to create security in Darfur through an international peacekeeping force.

Continue to make two phone calls each week. Act today to help bring safety and security to Darfur .

Your phone calls can change the world.
