NEVER AGAIN
As former victims of genocide, the Jewish people feel
a moral imperative to ensure that this never happens again—to anyone. And yet it is happening right now,
in the Darfur region of Sudan. Please urge the United Nations and the U.S. government to do everything possible to bring an end to this humanitarian disaster.
