ONE Campaign
Dear ONE Member,
It is a dire situation when we refer to a crisis in the past, present, and future tense, knowing that untold millions are suffering and dying daily.
This is the situation in Darfur.
Daily life in Darfur continues to descend into chaos, with nearly 3 million people struggling to survive without food or water amidst escalating violence.
Thankfully, right now, we have a rare chance to help.
Urge your senator to protect the world's most vulnerable people with funding that will save their lives.
The Senate Appropriations Committee is currently dealing with the 2007 emergency supplemental bill, which could potentially include millions of dollars to help the people of Darfur, Eastern Chad and other crisis zones around the world.
This is an unparalleled chance to provide smart aid to those who need it most. Crisis relief isn't just about feeding people and providing shelter to those who've had their homes destroyed. It's about protecting them from ongoing violence. It's about healing the wounds of an entire people. It's about making sure that people can live to see the day when their lives can return to normal.
Ask your senator to protect the victims of the world's worst crises.
While we can't always predict emergencies, it's imperative that we respond to them and prepare for others in the future. Our failure to respond will result in increased loss of life, malnutrition, and the spread of disease.
If we take this vital step we can help ensure that the needs of the displaced and hungry are met and that the U.S. continues to be a leader and help relieve the untold suffering of millions of people around the world.
Thank you for your voice,
Josh Peck, ONE.org
