Amnesty USA's latest great initiative:

www.eyesondarfur.org

You'll notice some user-friendly actions you can take: "Sign the Petition"/"Send Peacekeepers"/"Call on Russia" etc.

It's an American site, so below are some additional addresses for us Canadians. You can simply "Cc" these people when you write to their respective presidents~

For the Sudanese Ambassador to CANADA, write to:

Her Excellency Dr. Faiza Hassan TAHA ARMOUSA (W)
