Gabriel and Stacey show refugee children messages from children in the U.S., and ask them to respond. They also meet a young man who has lived in the camp for three years. When the janjaweed attacked, he ran with nothing but the clothes on his back. His entire family was killed.

Action

We ask that you reach out to the president by joining the I Stand With Darfur campaign (ISWD). The campaign calls for immediate action commensurate with the word “genocide.” Join ISWD in telling President Bush:

  1. Genocide is not negotiable
  2. We oppose U.S. silence that aims to gain intelligence on terrorist activities in Sudan – we refuse to trade Darfuri lives
  3. We demand an immediate deployment of an effective peacekeeping force with the mandate to protect, with or without consent of Sudanese government
