Since 2003, the massacre of African Muslims by Arab Muslims in Darfur, a Texas-sized region in the African nation of Sudan, has resulted in more than 400,000 deaths and 2.5 million displaced people. And despite a peace agreement between the Sudanese government and the largest Darfur rebel group, the killings, mass rapes, plundering, and crop-burning continues.

In a multifaith effort to advocate for an end of the genocide, the Save Darfur Coalition provides information on how to organize and attend an event, lobby elected officials, and educate others about Darfur.

Save Darfur Coalition What Relief Groups Are Doing and How You Can Get Involved:
