| Dear M,
I started as President of the Save Darfur Coalition last week, and I have already witnessed your power to make a difference. You told China to help end genocide. And we’re picking up steam!
Thanks in large part to your emails and phone calls, members of Congress, Nobel laureates, Olympic athletes, world leaders, and Steven Spielberg sent a strong message: China cannot look the other way while the people of Darfur suffer.
Let’s keep the momentum going!This week, we released a joint statement with our partner organizations outlining four essential actions China should take, beyond private pressure on Sudan, to help end genocide in Darfur.
Will you join us? Click here to read the joint statement and to urge China to use its power to help end genocide.
The joint statement, released in partnership with ENOUGH Project, Genocide Intervention Network, STAND, and Dream for Darfur, highlights China’s constant resistance to help end the violence, starvation and disease that plague the people of Darfur. But the world is watching as China prepares for the 2008 Olympics.
This week, President Hu received letters from Congress and world leaders, and hundreds of activists gathered in 16 cities around the world to urge China to act. With the increased pressure, director Steven Spielberg made worldwide headlines by quitting his post as an artistic advisor for the Olympic Games to make sure China knows its ties to the Sudanese government are unacceptable.
We must capitalize on this momentum and show China that its indifference is unacceptable. We will not let up until they produce results! Click here to send a strong message to China.
After you have sent your message, please click here to ask your friends and family to join you.
Thank you again for your dedication to the people of Darfur.
Best regards,
Jerry Fowler
Save Darfur Coalition

Please do not just rest with China aiding Darfur and Sudan to stop its Genocide. The Genocides in China itself must stop first. Tibetans, Falun Gong and Uygur Muslims, Human rights activists and Human rights defenders. Otherwise we settle for less and still the Chinese communist regime will continue to commit genocides on Chinese people while we in the world say its okay. They are laughing and listening to our silence.

The pressure is heating up! Now that the issue of Tibet is in the picture it’s seems to be adding to China’s Flame of Shame! People are starting to hear more about this stuff when they didn’t know anything about it before. I’ve learned a lot more about the Tibet issue since the Olympics has brought it into the open. China’s trying to cover everything up and trying to do that only fanned the flame! It’s going to get hotter and people are getting angrier with China. I’m not sure why the Olympic committee gave China such a trophy?
As for the human rights issues of the Chinese people, everyone has spoken up on those issues before. No one is saying it’s okay. It’s the Chinese government doing this to it’s own people. I think these issues are growing because the Olympic games are bringing it into the open, but people are speaking more of the issues because of the Genocide of other ethnic groups, directly or indirectly. China should learn from the history of other country’s that these things are wrong, it’s the 21st century.
