The Devil Came on Horseback. Working towards peace in Darfur, Sudan.

2.2 million people tuned in to the National Geographic Channel to watch The Devil Came on Horseback on Friday, April 18. Many thanks to all who watched the broadcast or, even better, invited your friends and family to watch and learn about the Darfur conflict. Now, please follow up by supporting efforts to end the Darfur conflict and bring security to the region.

In coming weeks, Darfur advocacy groups are organizing rallies at the headquarters of Olympics corporate sponsors, asking them to use their relationships with China to bring attention to Darfur.  Let’s give the Olympics sponsors a reason to act for Darfur– join a rally near you.  If you’re not close to a rally location, you can still participate by sending letters, emails and phone calls to these sponsors.
