Divest from Sudan.

Over the last few months, "So what can I do" has given readers several ways to help end the crisis in Sudan. You can do any of the following:

* Educate yourself so that you understand the situation and can help others do the same.
* Write letters of concern to government and media to ask for more attention (financial and temporal) to the genocide in Sudan.
* Fund relief organizations working in Sudan.

Here's one more thing you can do to end the suffering: divest from Sudan. It worked in South Africa in the fight to end apartheid, and it may well work in Sudan. Consider where your money goes, how it is used. Redirect it as necessary. DivestSudan.org will show you how.

It's your money. Make sure your use of it reflects your values.
