Last week, in a historic act of unity, Senators McCain, Obama and Clinton proclaimed to U.S. voters, the world, and President Bashir that bringing peace to Sudan transcends partisan politics in the U.S. All of them have publicly proclaimed that Darfur is of serious concern to them, and we have seen that this has rattled the Government of Sudan.

This is a great step forward in bringing peace to this war-torn area. However, much progress still needs to be made! The candidates still need to provide concrete plans that they would implement in order to bring peace to Darfur, if they were to be elected president this fall.

This unified claim that the candidates made is historic. But rhetoric is only the first step. We must ensure that this proclamation in the New York Times is transferred into action. We need to know now what each of the candidates will do for Darfur on day one in office.

Click here to write a message to the presidential candidates. Thank them for uniting in their fight against genocide. But also push them to publicly proclaim how they plan on ending the genocide in Darfur. Let them know that you will vote for the candidate who has the best policy to end genocide!
