ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN AND THE TEAM

The Justice For Noura Global Campaign Group

​

The Justice for Noura Campaign group consists of members of the Sudanese Diaspora community and other concerned individuals globally who are collectively working together to demand #justicefornoura. 

What started off as a  small working group of Sudanese Diaspora members centered in the DC Metropolitan area has grown into a global working group with key points of contacts based in the USA, UK, Germany, France, Sudan, Australia, Canada, and Kenya--to name a few;

with the support growing on a daily basis

​

This working group is aiming its collective efforts towards increasing awareness on a small scale via social media platforms, preparing materials, calls to action, letters for support, petitions to distribute, organizing rallies that support the mission objectives, gaining media coverage across a wide variety of news platforms, and  garnering the attention of the international community and humanitarian/human rights organizations. 

​

The campaign group led by the Washington, DC team has identified points of contact for each region; if your region does not have a point of contact and you would like to establish one and/or nominate someone, please fill out the Global Points of Contact form.
