Based on our tradition of valuing the sanctity of life, and our people’s experience of genocide, WRJ urged personal, congregational, academic, and governmental targeted divestment policies and to continue advocating diplomatic and political efforts to end the genocide.

RECOMMENDED SISTERHOOD PROGRAMMING AND ACTION

• For information on divestment the go to the Save Darfur coalition website http://www.savedarfur.org. Scroll down to click on the “Divest For Darfur” button. Save Darfur, a broad-based coalition of which WRJ is one of the original members, includes full information for program planning as well as opportunities for advocacy action

• The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism website provides extensive material on the ongoing genocide in Darfur and on ways to seek an end to the tragedy, including divestment. For background information, go to http://rac.org/advocacy/issues/issuesudan/sudangen/

• and for targeted divestment, go to http://rac.org/advocacy/issues/issuesudan/sudangen/divest/.

WRJ will continue to send information about opportunities for continuing, programming, humanitarian aid for the Darfuri people, and for diplomatic efforts to end the genocide. Please take action as suggested.
