The Businesses Supporting Genocide in Sudan
Remember how divestment helped uproot the apartheid regime in South Africa? There's a move afoot in Congress (HR 5061)to require disclosure of those firms that are propping up the genocidal regime in Sudan. The thinking is that companies (mostly multinationals based in Europe that trade on the NYSE) will wilt under the glare of publicity tying them to mass murder. I think that may be naive in this day and age, but still a noble and necessary attempt at it must be made. This has been approved by the House (412-3) and passed to the Senate. Contact your Senators and ask for their support for HR 5061.
