We closed 2010 here at Humanity United by continuing to support projects and organizations that share our mission of ending human trafficking and modern-day slavery, holding the international community accountable for justice in the face of mass atrocities and unspeakable violence, and helping to bring peace to Sudan and other locations around the world. There is much that we’re hoping to accomplish in 2011, but we’re thrilled to announce the partnerships below, with some of the groups on the frontline of the struggle for a world that is more peaceful and free.

Redwood City, CA — Humanity United announced today its continued support to Invisible Children, a global social and political and movement that utilizes the transformative power of story to change lives. Invisible Children seeks to rebuild schools, educate future leaders, and provide jobs in Northern Uganda — and to advocate for a more effective U.S. and international response to the devastation wreaked by the Lord’s Resistance Army — all with a goal of ending Uganda’s 24-year conflict.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.— A trio of recent developments has created a unique opportunity to help end the conflict in Sudan—the 21st Century’s first genocide. With Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir’s indictment by the International Criminal Court on seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, Bashir’s subsequent expulsion of 13 international aid organizations, who provided basic nutritional and medical services for as many as 4.7 million Darfuris, and President Barack Obama’s declared position that the genocide in Darfur is intolerable, there is now an important window to bring lasting peace to Sudan once and for all.
