DPAA passed, finally, still need to keep pressure on...

So the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act was finally passed through Senate and House just recently, although the part supporting divestment was deleted. So Osmosis is picking up the divestment campaign as another intiative to help stop the genocide in Darfur. Divestment is probably a new issue to most, and is meant to be used as a last resort and that time is here! Already several US states have divested from companies doing business with Sudan, and many colleges across the nation have divested including places like: "Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Brandeis, and Brown universities have already divested; so too has Dartmouth and, perhaps most significantly, the University of California (March 2006). They should be commended for their path-breaking decisions, and serve as national examples. Even more impressive is the comprehensive divestment announced by Amherst College (February 2006), along with its public commitment to push the divestment campaign forward in multiple ways."

CALIFORNIA DIVESTS FROM SUDAN...Governor Schwarzenegger holds public signing! - 9/25/06
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was joined by actors George Clooney and Don Cheadle, former Secretary of State George Shultz, executive members of the Sudan Divestment Task Force and other community leaders at a public signing for AB 2941, adopting a targeted divestment from Sudan for California's public pension funds. The Governor also signed AB 2179, which completes the University of California's targeted divestment from Sudan.
