Sudan Genocide

Sudan Advocacy Week: Volunteer on the Hill

Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with mass atrocities, ethnic violence, and millions displaced since war erupted in April 2023. This April, Emgage Action is bringing advocates to Capitol Hill for Sudan Advocacy Week 2026 (April 20–23 in Washington, D.C.) to meet directly with lawmakers and push for meaningful action to end the war. We need volunteers to make Advocacy Week a success. Our advocates will help raise awareness, demand accountability for the violence, push for policies that can stop the bloodshed, increase urgently needed humanitarian aid. Sign up to join us in Washington, D.C., or participate virtually from your home state to help ensure Congress hears directly from our communities.

Why Sudan Demands Urgent Action

Sudan is experiencing one of the world’s gravest humanitarian crises (UNHCR). Since the war erupted in April 2023 between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), the conflict has driven mass atrocities, widespread ethnic violence, and an unprecedented displacement crisis (CFR). Reports from late 2025 confirm that civilian killings have surged sharply and that RSF forces have committed systematic abuses in regions such as Darfur and El-Fasher (Human Rights Watch, OHCHR).

Over 12 million people have been uprooted, making this conflict the world’s largest displacement crisis (IRC, UNHCR). Many of the displaced lack access to basic necessities — including food, shelter, and medical care — as famine spreads and humanitarian aid remains blocked (UN experts, WFP).

At Emgage Action, we believe now is a critical turning point. The violence continues to escalate, the civilian toll keeps rising, and silence equals complicity. That is why we stand firmly for bold congressional intervention — to halt the bloodshed, cut off the weapons fueling this war, and demand accountability for genocide and war crimes.

Sudan: Critical Bills Right Now

Our Path Forward: Act Now

In 2025, Emgage Action mobilized communities across the country. During Sudan Advocacy Week, we brought the stories of survivors and experts, including voices like scholars and humanitarian advocates, directly to over 50 congressional offices. That outreach helped reawaken attention to the crisis, but it is not enough on its own.

The bills we support in Congress address different but complementary dimensions of this crisis. Some block arms sales to actors fueling the violence; others demand expanded humanitarian aid, the appointment of a dedicated U.S. envoy for Sudan, or action to enforce international arms embargoes. Each is essential, and only together can they meaningfully push for justice, protection, and long-term peace.

If you care about justice, human dignity, and the protection of innocent civilians, now is the time to act. Contact your legislators. Push for sustained U.S. engagement. Demand accountability. The world is watching and Sudan cannot wait.
