Update on Sudan Divestment

I've been advised not to post a list of companies that warrant scrutiny as a result of their involvement with the Sudanese government. However, for those of you want to begin a targeted divestment campaign at your University or want to learn more about companies that have disturbing interests in Sudan, you should do the following:

1) Visit sudandivestment.org to learn more about targeted divestment campaigns. You will notice divestments are an historically effective tool to encourage socially responsibile business practices.

2) E-mail info@sudandivestment.org to receive a complete list of companies that warrant scrutiny for their involvement in Sudan. Most of these are oil, natural gas, and mineral companies, several of which are based in China. Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University and several other institutions have already divested from several companies on this list.

If you yourself buy and trade stocks, you too can divest from companies that warrant scrutiny. Receive the list today to help end the genocide.
