1. Sign a petition. Save Darfur, an international coalition of non-for-profit humanitarian organizations, has an open, short, general petition here asking your local representative to support ending the crisis. The letter can be edited in the chance that you don't agree with any part of it.

2. Send your own letter. While signing the online petition helps, mailing or faxing hard copies of personal letters make more of an impact. To find your congressperson's contact information, check this site; for your senator's contact information, check this site.

3. Donate. Save Darfur is a reputable and worthwhile source, as is Amnesty International and Genocide Intervention Network.

If you have done all of these things and would like to get involved still further by planning events and attending demonstrations, join a local community group. Find one under the Get Involved toolbar at www.savedarfur.org.
