ASK THE CANDIDATES

With the Presidential primaries capturing the majority of the media's attention, the space for stories from Darfur is quickly shrinking. In partnership with ENOUGH, the Save Darfur Coalition, and the Genocide Intervention Network, STAND will host trainings for students and community activists in key electoral states- empowering them with the tools to pressure candidates to make ending genocide a presidential priority and a top election issue.

Watch Jackie, a STAND member from the University of New Hampshire, challenge Presidential Candidate Sen. John Edwards on the link between China and Darfur.

The initiative kicks off in Des Moines, Iowa on September 8th, 2007 with an intensive grassroots field training. Click the link below to visit www.askthecandidates.org and get more information on how you can participate.
