1. Join a group working to stop genocide.
The San Antonio Interfaith Darfur Coalition (SAIDC) holds regular meetings and events to raise awareness and action to end the genocide. Join our email list from this page. Visit www.savedarfur.org for information about the national Save Darfur movement.
2. Contact your elected representatives.
Call 1-800 GENOCIDE to get legislative action alerts and contact your congress people to express your support for Darfur-related legislation. Go to www.genocideintervention.net or www.enoughproject.org for fact sheets and reports that help you understand the legislative issues.
3. Donate to humanitarian agencies operating in Darfur and Chad camps.
Please visit the International Medical Corps www.imcworldwide.org to learn more about their humanitarian work in Darfur and Chad.
4. Pressure China to end the violence in Darfur.
Dream for Darfur is organizing an Olympic Torch Relay from Darfur to Beijing and across the United States to galvanize public support around the world to exert pressure on China to stop the genocide in Darfur. Visit www.dreamfordarfur.org for more information. San Antonio event: December 3, 2007
5. Support the Sudan Divestment Movement.
Sudan relies heavily on foreign investment to fund its genocidal activity. Join the international movement to put economic pressure on the Sudanese government by divesting from companies that fund the Sudanese government’s military activities. Visit www.sudandivestment.org for more information.
6. Raise Awareness.
Small actions can make a big difference. Talk to people about what is happening in Darfur, have a dinner for Darfur (ask for donations for humanitarian aid), show the movie Hotel Rwanda, download resources from the internet and hand them out. Read the book Not on Our Watch by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast for more ideas. Be a voice for the people of Darfur.

SACAG Mission
The San Antonio Coalition Against Genocide (SACAG) is committed to educating and encouraging people in San Antonio to advocate for and offer humanitarian aid to victims of genocide and mass atrocities.
SACAG Vision
Our hope is that people everywhere will pressure their governments to take action to end genocide and mass atrocities.
SACAG welcomes people of all nationalities and religious beliefs to join us in raising awareness of crimes committed against a particular race or group of people, such as in Darfur. It is also our desire that future generations will learn about past and present-day acts of genocide, so that we as a human race can unite to help prevent and end genocide.

Who We Are
SACAG includes representatives from the Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of San Antonio, Interreligious Council of San Antonio, University Presbyterian Church, Holocaust Memorial of San Antonio, and other individual members.
Although the United States has been in the forefront of countries providing humanitarian aid and working actively for a cessation of violence, SACAG believes immediate action is needed to forestall a human catastrophe of even greater dimensions.
