Have you heard of divestment? It's one of the key tactics that was successfully used to end apartheid in South Africa and it can help end the violence in Darfur, too.
To "divest" means to withdraw investments from companies that are supporting the genocide in Darfur by doing business with the government of Sudan.
Join me in fighting the genocide by urging Franklin Templeton, JP Morgan Chase, Capital Group/American Funds, Fidelity, Vanguard, and other investment institutions to divest their holdings from any and all companies doing business with the government of Sudan.

http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/divest_nowDiplomacy is crucial, but economic pressure may prove an even more powerful way to force Sudan to cooperate with international efforts to end the genocide.
Sudan has been very responsive to economic pressure in the past so we have reason to hope that they will pay heed to the divestment efforts.
Please do not stand by while the violence continues - you can make a difference.
