Hi Bobby, We're excited to announce that as of today we're looking to hire a full-time web designer to join the Change.org team.

We humbly submit that this is an awesome opportunity for anyone interested in using their design skills to advance social change. For more information about the position, go to www.change.org/jobs/designer. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward along this email or send the link above. Thanks for the help! Here's the featured activity across Change.org this week: 1. *Featured News: International Court Charges Sudan Leader With Genocide<http://www.change.org/news/view?news_id=2914&weekly_update_id=VRAXBRJDEATRPYWQRNCRVSLNAKEEPA&update_type=news> * The prosecutor at the International Criminal Court formally requested an arrest warrant yesterday for Sudan's president, Omar Hassan al-Bashir, on charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. It was the first time the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court had brought genocide charges against anyone. In announcing the request, Luis Moreno-Ocampo said Mr. Bashir had "masterminded and implemented" a plan to destroy three main ethnic groups in Darfur. "His motives were largely political," the prosecutor said. "His alibi was a 'counterinsurgency.' His intent was genocide." Bracing for reprisals, United Nations peacekeepers and aid workers stepped up security in Darfur and pulled out all but the most essential civilians. Sudan promised not to vent its outrage on them, but said it would unleash a "diplomatic war" to try to scuttle the case. 2. *Featured Action: Tell Congress NO Offshore Drilling<http://www.change.org/actions?event_id=18633&weekly_update_id=VRAXBRJDEATRPYWQRNCRVSLNAKEEPA&update_type=action> * Last week President Bush lifted the presidential moratorium on offshore drilling. Now he wants Congress to do the same. Although the moratorium is a tempting scapegoat for our current troubles, experts agree that offshore drilling will do nothing to reduce current gas prices. The long-term solution to our energy problems is not more of the same; rather, it's a nationwide movement to end our addiction to oil and focus our attention and resources on alternative energy sources. Remind Congress that more oil consumption is the problem - not the solution. 3. *Featured Nonprofit: Global Fund for Women<http://www.change.org/globalfundforwomen?weekly_update_id=VRAXBRJDEATRPYWQRNCRVSLNAKEEPA&update_type=nonprofit> * The Global Fund for Women makes grants to seed, strengthen and link women's rights groups based outside the United States working to address human rights issues. Women remain second class citizens throughout the world; they own only about 1% of the world's assets and hold only 16% of parliamentary seats worldwide, while girls face a one-in-three chance of being raped, beaten, or coerced into sex in their lifetime. The Global Fund combats these injustices by supporting groups working on issues such as the advancement of women in political life, ending violence against women, reproductive health and choice, and improved access to media and communications for women's voices. Since its inception in 1987, the Global Fund has granted over $61 million to more than 3,500 women's groups in 167 countries. 4. *Featured Change: Prevent Genocide<http://www.change.org/changes/view/91?weekly_update_id=VRAXBRJDEATRPYWQRNCRVSLNAKEEPA&update_type=change> * After the Holocaust the world community proclaimed that "never again" would it stand aside as genocide occurred. But we have consistently failed our commitment to this ideal. Genocides such as those in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and now Darfur have killed millions of people and destroyed countless communities while the world did too little too late. The moral imperative to meet the challenge of ongoing genocidal destruction with concrete action is as real and urgent today as ever. Join the End Genocide community now to learn how you can take part in the movement to fight genocide wherever it occurs. 5. *Featured Changemaker: Scott Stadum<http://www.change.org/profile/view_profile?user_id=9401&weekly_update_id=VRAXBRJDEATRPYWQRNCRVSLNAKEEPA&update_type=changemaker> * Our Changemaker of the Week is Scott Stadum, who currently works on the web team at Idealist.org. Scott was previously a Peace Corp Volunteer in Guyana, where he worked with the World Wildlife Fund to help protect biodiversity in the small South American country. Upon returning to the U.S., Scott helped establish a nonprofit called Friends & Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Guyana (FROG), which is dedicated to supporting education, health, economic, and environmental programs in Guyana.
