Dream for Darfur is encouraging individuals to make their voices heard.
After the genocide in Rwanda, the late Senator Paul Simon said, "If
every member of the House of Representatives and Senate had received
100 letters from people back home saying we have to do something about
Rwanda, when the crisis was first developing then I think the response
would have been different."
Here are campaigns you can take part in:
|
|
Pledge to switch over to Darfur from the commercials of Olympic Sponsors during the Games.
Olympic corporate sponsors have been silent about China’s financing of the Darfur genocide, even as the sponsors are spending billions to enhance China’s image as Olympic host. If sponsors continue to ignore China’s complicity in the Darfur genocide, we will ignore their million-dollar ad campaigns.
Take action! Sign the pledge.
|
Write to the ambassadors of the US, the UK, Russia and France to the UN.
Urge them to help China insist that Khartoum stop its obstruction.
Take action! Email the ambassadors.
|
Petition the International Olympic Committee.
Urge the IOC to work with the international community to ensure that China uses its leverage with the government of Sudan to help stop the genocide in Darfur, and avoids tarnishing the 2008 Games in Beijing.
Take action! Sign the petition.

|
Write to the UN Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace.
Mr. Adolf Ogi represents the UN Secretary-General in contacts with international sports bodies. Tell him you are concerned that the world will gather for the Olympics while the people of Darfur are being slaughtered.
Take action! Send an email.
