Holy Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur
Holy Hip Hop artist coming together to support the social cause and seek social justice to those affected by the Darfur conflict. Putting our feat into action and money where our mouths is to reach those hurt and ravaged by great tragedy.

As many as 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur. Another 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and into danger. The threat of rape, torture, murder and starvation pursue the women, men and children of Darfur wherever they flee.

This is most definitely a cause worth fighting for.

Isaiah1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 16 wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Please prayerful consider becoming involved. Pray for the people of Darfur or if you can give or call upon your senators and leaders to Divest In Darfur.

Its something that anyone who really cares about social justice the loss of life should get involved with. Its something I believe in.

Divest for Darfur - Stop Investing in Genocide
Divest for Darfur is a national campaign to encourage investment firms, especially JP Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity Investments, Capital Group (American Funds), and Vanguard, to withdraw investments from companies that help fund genocide in Darfur.

Many US investment firms have huge holdings of shares in PetroChina, a Chinese oil company that is one of the worst offenders helping to fund the genocide in Darfur.

Help cut off financial support for the government-sponsored violence in Darfur! Urge investment firms to divest their holdings from PetroChina and other companies that help fund the genocide.

PetroChina, a Chinese oil company, is one of the worst offenders in helping fund the genocide in Darfur. With PetroChina's help, the government of Sudan uses its oil revenue to provide arms and funding for the genocide.

Of US-based investment firms, Franklin Templeton, JP Morgan Chase, Capital Group/American Funds, Fidelity, Vanguard, have the largest holdings in PetroChina.

I call on you to adopt targeted divestment and to divest from PetroChina, Sinopec, Petronas, ONGC, and other companies that help fund genocide in Darfur. Link: http://www.savedarfur.org/page/content/index/
