Group Profile

New York City Coalition for Darfur

We have been working for the last several years on Darfur in various contexts. Our work grew out of previous work with synagogues and churches on the Upper West Side. We support the deployment of UN peacekeepers in Darfur, targeted divestment, and greater pressure on the Sudanese government including implementation of the terms of the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act. We have conducted public events that have combined music and education and have participated in local protests with Darfuris in exile as well as organizing Save Darfur divestment events, torch relays, letter-writing, lobbying and other events. We work closely with advocacy groups such as Amnesty, Africa Action, STAND and Genocide Intervention Network. Our group includes people of all ages, backgrounds and political inclinations, and from all parts of New York City. We welcome your energy and ideas. Please contact us.
