“Never forget the real challenges and the real rewards are out there in the field, where people are suffering, where people need you.”
- Sérgio Vieira de Mello
Working in conflict zones from Bangladesh to Sudan, Sérgio Vieira de Mello dedicated his life to helping others. He believed in upholding human dignity, both individual and collective. As a man of action and reflection, he embodies the spirit of our work to end genocide and crimes against humanity.
Founded in 2007, Enough focuses on crises in Sudan, eastern Congo, and areas of Africa affected by the Lord’s Resistance Army. Like Sergio, our work is based on principles: promoting durable peace, providing civilian protection, and punishing perpetrators of atrocities (3P’s).
We urge all of you to join us in upholding Sergio’s legacy of service. Learn about celebrities who are standing up on behalf of women and girls in eastern Congo and young refugees in Darfur. Then take action, and get friends and family to join you!

Last week, the National Security Council Deputies Committee met to review progress of the Obama Administration’s Sudan Policy. Contact your Members of Congress and ask them to request a meeting with the deputies for a full report on the implementation of the Sudan policy.
3. Contact the White House
Call (202-456-1414), Write or Facebook the White House with this message --
