Co-sponsors are needed for Senate Resolution 203, which calls on the government of China to use its unique influence and economic leverage to stop genocide and violence in Darfur, by encouraging a robust peacekeeping force and effective peace process.

The Sudan Divestment Authorization Act (Senate Bill 831), introduced on March 8, provides federal protection for states that divest from foreign companies funding the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

This bill comes at a crucial moment when the government of Sudan has refused to allow an expansion of the peacekeeping mission and the violence has spread to eastern Chad and the Central African Republic. It is clear that the United States must increase its pressure on the government of Sudan to end the genocide.
