We are all aware of the U.S’s troubling dependence on oil. We’re not alone.
As many of you already know, in Sudan, oil is literally a matter of life and death.
Ninety percent of Sudan's export income comes from the oil industry. Most of that money funds military spending that has fueled five long years of suffering in Darfur. You can help stop the Darfur crisis.

Young people are calling on large American corporations to think twice about the impacts of their investments, and some key investors with ties to Sudan have already begun to listen. Thanks to Amnesty International activists, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and a few other firms are waking up to the calls for corporate social responsibility in Sudan.. But some big businesses still need convincing. Tell top U.S. investment firms that socially responsible investment in Sudan is important to you.
The most powerful investors in the world can choose to tolerate widespread murder, torture, rape and forced displacement, or they help end the human rights catastrophe in Darfur.
