For 12 consecutive days, i-ACT (interactive-activism) connects you with the faces, names and lives of Darfur refugees who escaped, for now, genocide in their homeland. Watch daily videos from the field team; read journal entries and add your comments; take action daily that will change the way the world responds to genocide. The violence in and around Darfur has escalated since our last trip in February 2008, when there was an attempted military coup in Chad. Since diplomatic ties have been but cut between Chad and Sudan, and thousands are stranded on the border in between. Visit Stop Genocide Now i-ACT (www.stopgenocidenow.org/iact) to join the community and connect with a Darfuri who needs your voice and action.
