Your state senator can help ban any company connected to genocide from working with the state of California Click here to urge your senator to make sure California doesn't support genocide. Because of your support, California has helped lead the national effort to use economic pressure to end genocide in Darfur. This year, we can ensure that California continues to lead by refusing to work with any company connected to the Darfur genocide. A bill in the California Senate will ban all genocide-linked companies from receiving taxpayer-funded contracts in California. You can make sure it passes. Please click here to urge your state senator to take the lead to pass this bill. A California contract ban can create additional economic pressure on the government of Sudan to end the genocide. It will force companies to make a choice: they can either work with the genocidal government of Sudan or they can work with the state of California. California is the tenth largest economy in the world, so a California contract ban can convince companies to end their ties to the government of Sudan -- and ultimately help convince the Sudanese government to end genocide in Darfur. Such economic strategies helped end apartheid in South Africa, and they can help end genocide in Sudan. We all have a responsibility to help end genocide. Make sure the California Senate meets theirs. Click here to send your state senator a message today! Thank you for your continued commitment to the people of Darfur.
