What Can I Do To Help?


-Copied from Committe on Conscience:

WHAT CAN I DO?
Six things you can do to help prevent genocide

-KEEP INFORMED. Find out more about what is going on. Your gateway to more information
is our Web site www.committeeonconscience.org.

-CONTACT THE MEDIA. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper or to
other news outlets to comment on their coverage of Darfur or to express your views
about the importance of public attention to the story.

-COMMUNICATE WITH THE GOVERNMENT. Tell your government representatives
your views and concerns about events in Darfur.

-SUPPORT RELIEF EFFORTS. Find out more about relief organizations mounting
efforts to help civilians affected by the crisis. They may have ideas of ways you can help.
See the Committee on Conscience Web site for a link to listings of relief organizations
operating in Darfur.

-GET ENGAGED IN YOUR COMMUNITY. Talk about Darfur to your friends, family,
members of organizations you belong to, and coworkers—help spread the word.
Look for groups within your community who may also be working to help address
the crisis. Schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, and groups across the country are
making a difference.

Your voice can make a difference.
Do not be silent.
