How can I help Sudan?
Next week marks one year since the war in Sudan began. Brutal fighting between the army and Rapid Support Forces has given way to the largest humanitarian emergency in the world.
Nearly 25 million Sudanese —half the country— need urgent food and medical assistance. Over 8 million are displaced in Sudan’s borders or have fled the country. 730,000 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition. Nearly 20 million more can no longer attend school. And over 70% of Sudan’s healthcare system has collapsed.

3. Email your Representative (U.S. Specific, April 12 Deadline)
Contact your member of Congress and urge them to sign this letter to the Biden Administration being organized by Representatives Dan Kildee and Young Kim. If you are not sure who your Representative is, find them here. Feel free to copy/paste this message to them:
Dear Representative (insert name),
Since April 2023, fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has devastated the country. In December 2023, the State Department made an official atrocity determination, stating that SAF has committed war crimes and the RSF has committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic cleansing. Violence against civilians remains at high levels and famine now looms over large swaths of Sudan.
Sudan has long been a bipartisan focus of Congress, with members of both parties working together to propel forward better policy and increased attention across multiple administrations. Congressional leadership is needed once more as Sudan is in the grips of the largest humanitarian emergency in the world.
As one of your constituents, I am asking that you add your name to a Congressional letter addressed to President Biden, Secretary Blinken, and Administrator Power. This letter is being organized by your colleagues Representatives Dan Kildee and Young Kim. Please contact their offices to read the text and add your name. Your voice matters in this time of extreme crisis. Thank you.
Sincerely,
(your name and address)
