Help for Darfur: urgent action!

Dear Friend,
Attacks in Khartoum have made international action even more urgent for the people of Darfur.
Help us make our call for action even louder.
Ask your friends join you in sending a message to President Bush today.
Thank you again for urging President Bush to help protect the people of Darfur when the U.S. assumes the presidency of the U.N. Security Council on June 1.
But violence is getting worse, and we need to step up our support for the people of Darfur. A Darfuri rebel group attacked Khartoum on Saturday, and there is already news of widespread atrocities against Darfuri civilians.
You made your voice heard last week. Now, in light of these new events, we need your help again to make our calls for action even louder.
Will you help us make sure the White House helps end these atrocities?
Click here to ask your friends, family, and co-workers to join you in sending a message to the White House.
Reports indicate that the government is detaining, torturing and killing Darfuris in and around Khartoum, and that janjaweed militias have commenced attacks in North Darfur. The international community must speed up deployment of peacekeepers to help protect civilians in Darfur and make clear to all sides that there is no violent solution to this conflict.
The United States, acting as a top voice at the U.N. Security Council, must urge all parties to end hostilities, take immediate steps to deploy peacekeepers to Darfur, and work to punish those responsible for attacks on Darfuri civilians.
We have two weeks left before the U.S. assumes the presidency of the Security Council, so please take a minute today to help us flood the White House with messages.
Tell your friends and family how they can help send a powerful message to the President today.
Our movement has always been powered by grassroots energy—people sharing information with one another, friends sharing outrage with friends. To put an end to this humanitarian nightmare, we must keep it up. Thank you for all your work and support.
Best regards,
