Last weekend, 10 African Union peacekeepers in Darfur were killed in an attack on their base. Many were injured and some are still missing.
These deaths serve as a tragic reminder of why we're fighting to ensure the immediate deployment of the strong international peacekeeping force that was authorized by the UN in July to Darfur. Darfurians have been living with such brutality for years, and will continue to do so until our world leaders act. Join me in sending a strong message to President Bush and UN Secretary-General Ban, reminding them that the time to deploy the authorized peacekeeping force is NOW.

We must act now to ensure that world leaders do not allow it to threaten the deployment of the international peacekeeping force authorized by the UN Security Council - a mission that has already been delayed far too long.

That is why, right now, speaking out is more crucial than ever. Please forward this message to your friends and family and ask them to join you.
