CALL/EMAIL YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS

We are now in a critical phase of our campaign, call your legislators and tell them about the situation in Darfur. Tell them that divestment is currently the only option available to stop the genocide. You can find the contact information for these legislators by going to http://www.arkleg.state.ar.us Click on Legislators and Committees on the top left and then follow the links to the list of Senators and Representatives. Please avoid calling Sen. Sue Madison from Fayetteville, she is already aware of the genocide in Darfur, and very supportive of the divestment initiative. Letters are less effective, so please call or email them.

Contacts with State Representatives and State Senators are appreciated. Please email, write us, if you have any.
