📄 Suggested Letter for Emailing Representatives:

[Dear Sir/Madam,
In relation to the atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country of Sudan, as detailed here (link to change.org): https://c.org/2VJ5TWhXgf and available all over the internet. I would like to ask you to support the following 3 policy directions:
1.⁠ ⁠Designation of the RSF as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) / Executive Order 13224
Urge the U.S. State Department and/or Treasury to formally designate the RSF under the FTO statute and/or EO 13224 (18 U.S.C. § 2331(1)) for their systematic war crimes and material support for terrorism.
2.⁠ ⁠Suspension of U.S. Arms Sales to the UAE
Request the suspension of all U.S. arms sales to the United Arab Emirates under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) §§ 2754 and 2778 until the UAE ceases material support to the RSF.
The existing Stand Up for Sudan Act is a positive step, but insufficient. It mirrors existing AECA certification provisions and must be amended to explicitly designate the UAE as ineligible for U.S. weapons and include clear language regarding suspension.
3.⁠ ⁠Targeted Sanctions & Enforcement
•⁠ ⁠Mandatory sanctions under the Global Magnitsky regime on UAE-based entities and individuals facilitating RSF arms shipments or laundering RSF-linked gold.
•⁠ ⁠Enforceable mechanisms to freeze assets and block financial flows tied to the RSF’s war economy.
Best,
Your Name]
