Please follow this link to send a letter to Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT), chair of the Senate Banking Committee, asking him to make sure the Sudan Divestment Authorization Act comes to the Senate floor for a vote without further delays.

A recent mass email from Colleen Connors of the Save Darfur Coalition continues:

Fifteen courageous states have already passed their own divestment policies in an effort to stop the violence in Darfur. The Sudan Divestment Authorization Act would protect these and other states’ rights to divest from challenges by the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC), an organization which has already successfully challenged Illinois’ divestment policy and aims to challenge others.

For more on divestment as a response to the crisis in Darfur, I would refer you to a recent post of mine.
