Write and Call the President

The Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act would authorize state and local governments to divest from companies that support the Sudanese government at the expense of marginalized populations in Sudan and prohibit federal contracts with those companies. The bill was cleared unanimously by the Senate last week and House action is anticipated as early as Tuesday. Darfur activists have aggressively advocated this legislation, and the groups - along with Members of Congress - are urging President Bush's commitment to rapidly sign this measure into law and fully implement its provisions. Thus far, the administration has opposed this legislation. Please send a letter to the president and let him know that he must sign this into law!! And call him, too! President Bush has been so focused on the war in Iraq - and innocent victims in Darfur continue to die.
