"A Long Day's Dying: Critical Moments in the Darfur Genocide" - by Eric Reeves; "Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond" - by John Prendergast and Don Cheadle
Americans Against the Darfur Genocide (AADG) is a grassroots coalition fighting to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Our team, advisers, and members come from different walks of life: We are ordinary citizens. We are communities of faith. We are foreign policy experts. We are dedicated community organizers.
Where we stand: AADG advocates for the immediate deployment of a robust multinational protection force to the Darfur region—with or without the government of Sudan's consent. We support both the use of military force and the use of strong multilateral sanctions as means to stopping the genocide in Darfur—we contend that the current on-the-ground situation in Western Sudan justifies both these measures.
We realize that intervention is an unpopular word in some circles nowadays. However, if we are really going to help protect Western Sudan, if we are really going to honor the victims of the Holocaust, of Rwanda, of other genocides, the international community cannot allow Sudan's perpetrators to dictate the terms. If other public leaders should not have bowed down to Hitler, to Pol Pot, to Rwanda's Hutu genocidaires, why should people in power give any leeway today to Omar al-Bashir and his totalitarian regime?
Human rights and advocacy groups concerned about Darfur each have unique plans of action, and, in some cases, we push for different policies. On its part, AADG will support any policy that effectively notches up the pressure on the government of Sudan.
At the end, the Darfur movement is a united movement. All of our organizing is effective in approaching the same ends. That is: We seek protection for the people of Darfur. We seek justice for the people of Darfur. And with the help of ordinary citizens around the world—from all different political, religious, economic, and social backgrounds—this movement for Darfur will bring a lasting peace to Sudan.

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. "
-- Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), South Africa, 1966
