Powerful New Way to Help Darfur

Many Americans may not be aware that their investment accounts may be helping to fund the genocide in Darfur. In fact, Fidelity and other institutional investors are among the biggest shareholders of oil companies operating in Sudan and providing revenues that fund the genocidal regime.

A new campaign aims to change that and asks all citizens to call Fidelity and object to money being invested in companies that help fund the genocide in Darfur. To sign the petition and learn more about how you can become involved in this campaign, please visit www.FidelityOutOfSudan.com
