Sign up to take action now by participating in the Round the Clock Call-In Day!

On the 25th day of President Obama's presidency, let's make sure that the State Department's phones are ringing off the hook - from 9 in the morning to 5 in the evening on Friday, February 13th.

Early this morning, we posted on the STAND Blog that the Government of Sudan has seized Muhajiriya, South Darfur. 

Khartoum is clearly testing the Obama administration's resolve.  Call the State Department today and demand immediate action.  If you called on Wednesday about Muhajiriya, call again and urge Senator Clinton and Ambassador Rice to act now to address the escalating violence threatening Darfuri civilians.

Check the STAND Blog for an urgent action update on the situation in Muhajiriya, a village in South Darfur where the Government of Sudan is threatening major attacks.

Today, call the State Department comment line at 202-647-6575!

Demand that Secretary Clinton and UN Ambassador Rice outline specific consequences for the government of Sudan if it does not cease aerial bombings and abandon its plans for an offensive on Muhajiriya. 

Take our Day One Action by faxing a checklist for Darfur action to the White House.  It's easy to fax the checklist in, but if enough of us do it we can make a real impact on the Obama administration during his first days in office. 

You can find the six easy steps below, or you can just check out our Calendar of Events for instructions on how to fax in the checklist without a fax machine!

Contact your Outreach Coordinator today to sign up to host an event for the Presidential Inaugural Committee's National Day of Service!

On January 19, organizations all across the country will be hosting events for the National Day of Service.  STAND has been asked by the Presidential Inaugural Commitee to participate on this historic day, and we need your help!

Make the call to New York Governor David Paterson today.  If you live in New York, tell Governor Paterson that you expect Senator Hillary Clinton's replacement to be as dedicated to ending the genocide in Darfur as she was! Call the Governor's Office at 518-474-8390 today!
