Take Action (How to SHOUT)

Here are some easy ways you can make a difference in Sudan:

UMCOR

Support the United Methodist Committee on Relief Sudan Emergency Advance #184385. Funds given here provide help to Sudanese refugees fleeing into neighboing Chad. One hundred percent of what you give goes to people in need. No kidding. No messing around. No relief organization on earth can make a better promise.

That local United Methodist congregation in your neighborhood has already helped pay the all the administrative costs of UMCOR's work.

Amnesty International

Amnesty provides an "activist toolkit" that can be downloaded (some items require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, found at www.adobe.com). This toolkit includes posters, stickers, and ways to get involved locally.

Write your Senator or Member of Congress
The late Senator Paul Simon once famously remarked that

"If every member of the House and Senate had received 100 letters from people back home saying we have to do something about Rwanda, when the crisis was first developing, then I think the response would have been different."

For a mere fifteen minutes of time and a thirty seven cent stamp, you can change the world. You can find the name and address of your representatives using the links on the right of this page.

These are great projects for women's groups, men's groups, and youth groups. Using the information found here, you can put together a presentation and then offer your people the above opportunities as ways to take action.
