U.S. Congress: Pass Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act! - ONLINE PETITION

The Peace Alliance
     The Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act, S.2551, is legislation from Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) that seeks to improve the ability of the United States to proactively work to prevent genocide and mass atrocities by institutionalizing and strengthening existing efforts. The Act will coordinate an interagency approach to preventing mass atrocities, integrate early warning systems, oversee development and implementation of atrocities prevention strategies, and conduct atrocities specific planning.
It does this by:

• Authorizing the Atrocities Prevention Board.
• Authorizing the Complex Crises Fund.
• Training all Foreign Service Officers in recognizing early warning signs of emerging conflict or atrocities, and in methods of early action, prevention and response.
• Making Atrocities Prevention the official policy of the United States.

Sign today and a message will be sent to all your Members of Congress!  Please make sure you do the follow-up steps required by your Congress-members on the follow-up page after you hit submit.
