Has anyone on the forum taken direct action in this situation. I'm not convinced that govt will do anything about this kind of thing so the whole petitioning my congressman thing isn't for me. I don't really have any money to donate but I want to get involved, and I believe in direct grassroots action.

Which aid groups would you recommend working with. Thanks.

Regarding donating to or working directly with humanitarian organizations that are helping the people of Darfur right now, I'd recommend:

Darfur Stoves Project: http://www.darfurstoves.org

Doctors Without Borders: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/sudan

International Rescue Committee: http://www.theirc.org/special-report/darfur-growing-violence.html

Hope this gives you some starting points!
