DARFUR ACTION GROUP

Harvard Darfur Action Group brings together students from Harvard's graduate and undergraduate campuses, all committed to waging constructive and efficient campaigns to help end the genocide in Sudan... Second, the committee lobbies Congressmen to support bills furthering the mission of peace and security in Darfur. Current legislation includes the federal Darfur Peace and Accountability Act and a Massachusetts bill for the divestment of public funds from companies doing business in Sudan. We urge and help our fellow students to call representatives from their home states, and also reach out to the community to promote lobbying and spread awareness of what all US citizens can do to help end the genocide in Darfur. We also bring our cause and our methods to local high schools, and are coordinating a multi-school conference at Harvard to raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur and unity in combating it.
