For one hour, thousands of activists from across the nation will tie up all 1,000 phone lines at the White House and fill its voicemail. Our collective voice will ensure that the only message that President Bush receives for this entire hour is that the genocide in Darfur must finally be stopped!

WHAT TO DO
Call the White House at (202) 456-1414.
If you have trouble getting through to the switchboard, help us fill the White House voicemail by calling the comment line at (202) 456-1111.
If you are unable to call between 12:00 noon and 1:00 PM Eastern (9:00 and 10:00 AM Pacific), feel free to call at any time throughout the day. We need your voice!

Let them know, in a polite and reasonable tone, that we need:
- The president to make the immediate deployment of UN peacekeepers --- with a mandate to protect civilians --- his top priority at the Security Council.
- To follow the terms of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act and strengthen the hand of the U.N. Special Envoy.
