In fact. the movement to stop genocide in Darfur has been led by some of the youngest in our society. In New Jersey. students in middle schools have raised funds for refugees. Young people at colleges have led the movement to divest from Sudan. They are not the leaders of the future. they are the leaders of today. I know that as I stand here calling for action. I am not alone. In my home State of New Jersey. high school students started a nonprofit organization called Help Darfur Now which raises awareness and funds for the refugees in the Sudan. Newark. NJ. is the headquarters of the Darfur Rehabilitation Project. a national group started by the Sudanese people living in the United States who lobby for humanitarian aid. intervention. and conflict resolution in the Sudan.
