Dream for Darfur

China, Sudan, United States

Crimes against humanity, Genocide

On August 8, China and the Olympic sponsors will kick off the Beijing Olympics. With your help, Dream for Darfur will make sure the world, the sponsors, and specifically China do not forget about the people of Darfur. We are excited to tell you about our "Switch Over" campaign, which will help keep the pressure on China and Olympic sponsors leading up to the Games in Beijing. <a href="http://www.switchovertodarfur.org" target="blank">Click here to check out the campaign and take the 'Switch Over' pledge.</a> We believe that the privileges of Olympic sponsorship come with responsibilities. Sponsors are eager for access to China's consumers and have been working to enhance China's image as Olympic host. Sponsors are also associating themselves with all the positive values represented by the Games -- but not working to uphold those values. When asked to take action for Darfur, 16 out of 19 top Olympic sponsors chose to remain silent. <a href="http://www.switchovertodarfur.org" target="_blank">On the new 'Switch Over' website, you can let the Olympic corporate sponsors know that you intend to ignore companies that ignore Darfur.</a> Pledge to Switch Over from the commercials of select sponsors during the Games, and tune into Darfur starting August 8 by watching our 'Alternative Opening Ceremony' and then Mia Farrow's 'Darfur Olympics' broadcast from a Darfurian refugee camp during the first full week of the Games. <a href="http://www.switchovertodarfur.org" target="_blank">To learn more and join the campaign, visit the Switch Over website -- and pledge to help keep the spotlight on Darfur during the Games.</a>

Small Places Tour

Global

Crimes against humanity, Freedom of opinion & expression, Freedom of religion & belief

Amnesty International marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the ‘Small Places Tour’. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s call for ‘concerted citizen action’ in her famous “small places” speech in 1958, musicians and fans will raise their voices in song and action in venues, cities, towns, communities, neighborhoods and workplaces. Through hundreds of concerts held around the world, we will draw attention to urgent human rights concerns, recruit thousands of new human rights activists and, hopefully, raise much needed funds for Amnesty campaigns. Amnesty’s 2008 priority campaigns include working to stop violence against women, stopping torture, ending the killing in Darfur, controlling small arms, demanding the closure of Guantánamo, challenging China’s human rights record including its actions in Tibet and working for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners in Burma.
