Dear Marilyn,

Help cut off financial support for the government-sponsored genocide in Darfur. Ask Fidelity to divest now from companies that help fund the genocide!

A few weeks ago I wrote to you about divestment - a crucial effort to cut off funding for the genocide in Darfur.
By withdrawing investments from companies that help finance the genocide, we can build economic pressure to end the atrocities.
That's why we are calling on the investment firms with the largest ties to Sudan, such as Fidelity, to divest their holdings now, before more lives are lost.

Fidelity is a major holder of PetroChina, the Chinese oil company that is one of the biggest offenders in helping to fund the genocide in Darfur.
Despite complaints from concerned citizens and investors, Fidelity has not accepted responsibility for its role in investing in companies that help fund the genocide in Darfur and has refused to withdraw these investments.
Tell Fidelity it's time to stop investing in companies that help fund the genocide. Click here to sign the petition asking them to cut their ties with businesses supporting the genocide.
While diplomacy is crucial, most international efforts have failed to get through to Sudan.
But money talks -- Sudan has been very responsive to economic pressure in the past. That is why we believe divestment could be highly effective in forcing Sudan to cooperate with the international community.
Divestment helped end apartheid in South Africa in the late 1980's and it can help end genocide in Darfur in 2007.
Click here to demand that Fidelity do their part to help end the violence by divesting from companies that help fund the genocide.
Thank you again for your commitment to helping the innocent people of Darfur.
Best regards,

Please go and sign the petition to help the Sudan. Let's put the pressure on those that are helping to fund the genocide there. We must all do whatever we can to help end all this senseless killing, rapes, tortures, etc. Thank you for your help!
God Bless You All,
Love, Marilyn
