Last week community activists held several successful vigils around the country, including at at Vice President Biden’s residence was a great success.  As a follow-up, Genocide Intervention Network and our partners at Sudan Now published an advertisement in the New York Times on Wednesday, August 25. The ad calls on President Obama to demonstrate leadership on Sudan by effectively implementing a policy that leverages both incentives and pressures.  
 
President Obama is faced with a key decision on how to move forward in implementing the Sudan policy.  The threat of a new war looms in Sudan, even as the country prepares for a January 2011 referendum that could split it in two.  While Darfur agonizes, millions remain displaced, Khartoum flouts international law, and peace negotiations between the North and South are imperiled. Help ensure that President Obama gets the message and makes the right choice on Sudan.
