Darfur Report Cards

Look up your member of Congress's Darfur Score and send them a report card letting them know whether they "make the grade" in stopping genocide. Show your members of Congress that stopping the genocide in Darfur is important to you. Urge members with poor Darfur records to step up.  Ask members with good records to maintain their commitment to the people of Darfur. Urge newly-elected members to start off their terms on the right foot by supporting Darfur legislation.  Use these report cards not only to educate yourself, members of your community, and the media, but also to build a relationship with your members of Congress and hold them accountable for their record against genocide.
