BACKGROUND

“Voices to Stop Genocide” is organized by the Save Darfur Coalition, of which American Jewish World Service is a leading member. In order to stop the genocide, a United Nations peacekeeping force must be immediately deployed to the Darfur region.

“SAVE DARFUR NOW: Voices to Stop Genocide” is timed to coincide with the opening of the 61st General Assembly of the United Nations. Participants are united in demonstrating a global commitment to protecting the people of Darfur.
