Since the mid-1980s, Sudan has experienced a surge in cases of slavery. The Sudanese government has supported militias (janjaweed) who raid black African villages, murdering men and taking women and children as slaves.
Despite tremendous effort by the U.S. government to bring about peace in Sudan, UN agencies are reporting that the government-sponsored militias are continuing to abduct women and children in western Darfur — an area not covered by the peace talks.
We need to send a message to U.S. leaders demanding the creation of a special Task Force to investigate and report on slavery in Sudan. The more signatures we collect, the more powerful our message is — can you help us?
So far, we have collected  signatures.
