It’s much easier that you might suspect to run a local campaign on divestment, and hopefully with our help it will be even easier. Anyone can run a local campaign – either alone or as a team. It doesn’t take a lot of time. All you need is a bit of patience and determination.

This is a step-by-step guide to running your own campaign. For any questions these pages don’t answer, Darfur Divestment is there to offer help and advice.

…in your university

If you are a student, a lecturer or any other employee you can target both your university pension fund and any endowment the university might own.

...in your local authority

If you are a local resident or employee you can investigate and target your campaign at your local authority pension fund.

...in your workplace

If you pay into or receive an occupational or stakeholder pension organised by your employer, you can investigate and campaign to make sure your wages and pension contributions don't fund mass killing in Darfur.

...with your pension provider or insurance company

If you pay into a private pension plan or own a life insurance policy, unit trusts, or investment trusts, your money may be invested in companies that should be targeted.
