SC Votes for Darfur

South Carolina Loves Darfur

Congratulations to all of our South Carolina activists for their hard work in the lead up to the South Carolina primaries last month. Throughout January, these activists traveled to campaign events and delivered thousands of letters and petition signatures to the presidential candidates, forcing the candidates to recognize that Darfur is an important issue in South Carolina. Because of their hard work and initiative, the Save Darfur Coalition named the members of the Darfur Action Group of South Carolina their Darfur Heroes for the month of February.

Time is Winding Down for the Early Primary States

We have just two weeks until the Iowa Caucuses, and only a month until the South Carolina primaries. For the next few weeks, election fever will be focused in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

If you're in one of these states, this is your last chance to get involved! Go to an event and ask the candidates one of our Darfur policy questions. Don't forget to record it so that others can read the candidate's views on the issue.Â

What About Me?

Not in an early primary state? You can still press the candidates on Darfur. Email your favorite candidate or call his or her office and ask about their Darfur policy. And stay tuned for ways to make your voice heard for the national campaign.

South Carolina Votes for Darfur

South Carolina is getting ready for the lead up to the South Carolina primaries taking place on the 19th and 26th of January and we need y'all to get involved NOW, by attending campaign events and asking the candidates about Darfur.

We need your help with planning events and signing up volunteers to attend Presidential candidate campaign events in your area to ask candidates about Darfur.

You can help make Darfur a priority for the candidates, and the country, this January.

South Carolinians interested in answers on Darfur

Former South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges recently had an op-ed featured in The State, of Columbia, SC. Gov. Hodges writes:

"Over the past decade, the United States has been the spark that has inspired fundamental change in Sudan. . . If the next president does not continue the commitment to lead the way on this issue, the consequences will be disastrous. The government of Sudan will use the opportunity to halt the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers, violate the peace and perpetrate mass atrocities against its own people.

 

This week, as the minds of people around the world and across our state focus on the issues of neighborliness, justice and shared humanity, I am joining again with the Darfur Action Group of South Carolina and asking the candidates for president what they will do to ensure a lasting peace in Darfur. Asking them to stand with us and pledge their support for U.N. Security Council Resolution 1769. South Carolinians have put our pens where our passions are — our votes will follow."
