Americans Against the Darfur Genocide (AADG) is a nonprofit organization working to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.  AADG is a grassroots coalition of of a diverse group of Americans seeking protection and justice for the people of Darfur. More than 500,000 Darfuris have died and more than 2.5 million have been driven from their homes by the government of Sudan.

With the current situation in Western Sudan, AADG advocates for the immediate deployment of a strong multinational protection force in the Darfur region, with or without the government of Sudan’s consent. AADG also supports military force and strong multilateral sanctions to stop the genocide.

AADG’s efforts focus on campaigns that urge government and other influential leaders and organizations to act to protect the victims of the Darfur genocide. 

Face-to-face meetings, emails, phone calls, letters and other actions educate and urge leaders to implement new policies and take action of help the people of Darfur. Detailed information  on the situation in Darfur is collected by AADG and is also available online.

Financial, diplomatic and physical sanctions are advocated to bring pressure on those responsible for the mass atrocities. United Nations or other coalition resolutions that impose asset freezes, travel bans, and other sanctions are supported.

AADG also supports the sending of peacekeeping forces to Darfur, and the use of further UN or international military forces to protect the citizens of Darfur.
