NOSEND="1"><BR><BR><BR><BR>Dear Person of Conscience,<BR><BR>Our work on Darfur
is making a difference. Together, we successfully pressured the US government to
allow the International Criminal Court to investigate the masterminds of the
genocide, and DarfurGenocide.org members also helped win the fight for an
African Union peacekeeping mission to help protect Darfurians. But while there
has been progress, it has not been enough, and the killing continues.
<BR><BR>Over the weeks our team spent in Darfur, we learned that what Darfurians
need and want is a strong peace agreement between them and their government,
that makes sure that the government never again has the power to exterminate
their people. But peace talks have gone nowhere, largely because the
international community has paid little attention to them. <BR><BR>Our partner
organization, Human Rights First, has a good idea for how to make the peace
talks work better for Darfurians. They are calling for a high level United
Nations envoy to reenergize the process. Click the link below to sign their
petition: <BR><BR><A

</A><BR><BR>Human Rights First is hoping to gather hundreds of thousands of
signatures – one person for every Darfurian killed in the genocide. By signing
the petition, you will give voice to one of Darfur’s victims. You will be
“standing in” for them. This petition can make a difference. The Bush
administration is currently deciding it’s next steps on Darfur. A strong popular
demand for a peace envoy will help. <BR><BR>With hope, <BR><BR><BR>David,
Ricken, Tom, Julia and the DG.org Team <BR><BR><BR>To remove yourself from this
