Mission Statement
The mission of DAC is to sponsor events and engage in organized activities aimed at educating the general public, advocating U.S. foreign policy positions that seek a just and peaceful end to the Darfurian crisis, and calling for increased economic and social development in western Sudan under the leadership of legitimate representatives of the Darfurian people. DAC's mission is also to help build networks linking concerned Americans with Darfurian refugees displaced by the crisis in their homeland. DAC seeks to assist these persons and their families by channeling resources to them as they reclaim and restore their land, lives and livelihoods.
Description
Darfur Alert is a Philadelphia-area coalition of American and Sudanese-born activists. Our leadership draws heavily from the Darfurian immigrant community to provide their insight and help guide our work. Thoroughly interfaith and interracial, our ranks include educators, businessmen, artists, students, peace activists, and other concerned citizens. Together, through public education and determined advocacy, we are raising awareness about the crisis, helping to support the oppressed, and working together to advance a just and lasting peace in Darfur.
