Dear friend,

Last July 31, the U.N. Security Council authorized 19,000
additional peacekeepers to help stop the violence in Darfur.

A year later, barely 2,000 additional peacekeepers have arrived,
and those that are there lack the equipment and support they
need to protect Darfuri civilians.

That's why I've signed on to the Save Darfur Coalition's
international petition to the leaders of China, France, Russia,
the U.K., and the U.S., the five most critical voices on the
U.N. Security Council. We're demanding that they fulfill the
promise they made a year ago, and stop dragging their feet on
fully deploying the peacekeepers.

Will you join me, and 75,000 others around the world, in signing
this important petition? Our names will be displayed with 75,000
others in a major media event on July 31, the one-year
anniversary of the Security Council's important - but
unfulfilled - resolution. Click below to add your name:

A Security Council resolution is useless without concrete action
from the U.N. and the leaders of the nations who lead it. It is
outrageous that the five permanent members of the U.N. Security
Council - China, Russia, France, the U.K., and the U.S. - cannot
produce just 24 helicopters needed by the peacekeepers to help
end the brutal genocide.

This is a failure of will, plain and simple. The world promised
Darfur protection but has failed to deliver it. 

Since the peacekeepers were authorized by the Security Council a
year ago, 440,000 more Darfuris have been driven from their
homes. The people of Darfur can't afford to wait any longer for
these world leaders to find the courage to act.

Help me send these world leaders a strong message: let's stop
dragging our feet and keep our moral obligation to bring peace
and security to Darfur. Click the link below to send your
message today.

And please keep the momentum going by forwarding the petition on
to 5 of your friends once you've had a chance to sign. Thanks
for joining me in this important struggle. It means a lot.

Thanks,
