Save Darfur Coalition

The Save Darfur Coalition was an advocacy group formed in 2004 that attempted to raise public awareness and mobilize a large response to the atrocities in Sudan's western region of Darfur. In Washington, D.C., a coalition of more than 190 religious, political, and human rights organizations campaigned to draw attention to and encourage policy responses regarding the atrocities of the War in Darfur, which had resulted in a humanitarian crisis. According to international estimates, 300,000 civilians died and 2.7 million people were displaced between 2003 and 2008.
