STAND is a Student-run Anti-Genocie Coalition. We are dedicated to making it easy to act against genocide. Through tools like 1-800-Genocide and our monthly Darfur Digest, we make it easy for Canadians to stay updated on the current situation in Darfur and provide them with actions they can do on a daily basis to make a difference.
I am asking you to help me help STAND keep 1-800 GENOCID(E) going! This is STAND's best advocacy tool for getting straight to the PM. And it doesn't cost that much, so every little bit helps.
You'll also be helping to keep STAND's advocacy alive by supporting a number of important activites.
