They continues to advocate for a solution to the ongoing crisis.

In cooperation with more than 150 faith-based, advocacy and humanitarian aid organizations, the campaign hopes to deliver a million handwritten and electronic postcards to the White House and Congress, demanding a more effective U.S. response to the crisis in Darfur region.
