Save Darfur Coalition

Most people know that genocide is happening in Darfur. What most people don’t know is that they may be helping to fund it through their mutual fund. In October 2007, the Save Darfur Coalition launched a campaign to urge investment banks to divest from PetroChina, a Chinese company that funds the very Sudanese government that’s conducting the genocide. The coalition hired Grassroots Campaigns to run awareness teams to help educate citizens in the San Francisco area on this issue, and to help put pressure on the companies that manage the mutual funds.
