Take Action for Darfur

Crisis in Darfur

Arabs throughout the world have joined together to speak out against the violence that has ravaged Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and regions throughout the Middle East.

Now we are raising our voices to demand an end to the brutal injustice being inflicted upon innocent Muslim men, women and children – Arab and non-Arab – in Darfur.

Over the past three years, at least 400,000 Muslims have been killed in Darfur. More than 2 million have been forced to flee their homes and now live in refugee camps in Sudan or neighboring Chad.

The Arabs American and Muslim American communities have an obligation to speak out and act against injustice. We call upon the international community to immediately provide safety and security to our brothers and sisters in Darfur, by establishing an expanded UN peacekeeping force in Darfur and providing humanitarian aid to the region.

You too can help. Learn more about this crisis. Tell your friends. Make your voice heard.
