The Save Darfur Coalition, in cooperation with over 150 faith-based, advocacy, and humanitarian aid organizations, including the Reform Jewish Movement, has launched the Million Voices for Darfur campaign - an unprecedented effort to raise awareness of the genocide taking place in Darfurand promote the actions necessary to end it. The goal of the Million Voices for Darfur campaign is to generate one million hand-written and electronic postcards from Americans demanding a stronger and more effective U.S.response. Specifically, the campaign calls on the United Statesgovernment to support a stronger multinational force to protect the civilians of Darfur. While this coalition's campaign is directed toward U.S.elected officials, we encourage our Canadian members to reach out to their leaders with a similar message.

We urge you to order your postcards now and distribute them in both your Jewish community and the larger community you are a part of. As the late Senator Paul Simon said after the Rwandan genocide, “If every member of the [U.S.] House and Senate had received 100 letters from people back home saying we have to do something about Rwanda, when the crisis was first developing, then I think the response would have been different.

Please forward this e-mail to friends and family members!!
