Genocide is raging in Darfur, and China has not done enough to help end it. As China cloaks its international image in the peaceful ideals of the Olympic Games it will host this year, it continues to arm, fund, and protect the genocidal government in Sudan.
We won't let China get away with this duplicity! This week, members of Congress, Nobel laureates, Olympic athletes, world leaders, and Steven Spielberg all sent a strong message: China cannot look the away while the people of Darfur suffer. Let's keep the momentum going! A group of organizations released a joint statement this week outlining four essential actions China should take, beyond private pressure on Sudan, to help end genocide in Darfur. Will you join the movement? Click below to read the joint statement and to urge China to use its power to help end genocide. http://action.savedarfur.org/campaign/chinaolymp The joint statement, released by the Save Darfur Coalition, 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 while 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!
