Thank you for your consideration.
The pen is most certainly mightier than the sword.
Building upon the movement created with our In Solidarity: Global Day for Darfur campaign on April 13th, we have started a monthly campaign ‘Am I not Human?’. The Olympics traditionally stand for humanity and friendship but with Beijing hosting this year’s games our traditions are being diluted.
Darfur and Tibet are suffering and until they have relief on every 27th of the month we will be continuing our effort to educate, motivate and activate. Our campaign will not end with the opening ceremonies but when real, measurable progress has been achieved.
The hub for this campaign is at Roots of Humanity. 
‘Am I not Human?’ Press Release
The Campaign Organizers:
Daz Wilson
Danielle Vyas
Wayne Hicks
Eddie Griffin
The Campaign email is RootsofHumanity@gmail.com
We’ve created an e-book that gives some history and basic information of the Darfur and Tibet situations. You can download it free here.
Suggested Actions:
Email or call the Olympic Corporate Sponsors.
Send a letter to companies sponsoring the 2008 Olympics, hosted by China. (Dream for Darfur’s email system will let you do this with the touch of a button.)
Pledge to turn off 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.
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.
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.
Okay, Marvelous sent me on a scavenger hunt with this week’s theme “Songs by Men with Perms”. I first had to come to terms with “perm”. Does it mean curly or straightened hair, it couldn’t mean gherri curl, right?
He 
was the first to come to mind. Then him 
. But I wasn’t satisfied so I found him 
. I couldn’t use him 
. And since my head was getting light from the chemicals, I had to offer the man who represents the anti-perm 
.
Enjoy:
Mother Popcorn - James Brown
Rocket 88 - Ike Turner
Mother-in-law - Ernie K. Doe
Redemption Song - Bob Marley
Dee, however, reminded me that Bob wasn’t always adorned with dreads.
We are bringing the In Solidarity: Global Day for Darfur to the next level, folks. Every 27th of the month, We will continue our mission to educate, motivate and activate for our Darfurian, Tibetian and global family. Far too often “causes of the day” slip easily from our mind, we cannot allow this to happen. Won’t you join us?
Send us an email at RootsofHumanity@gmail.com if you want to participate.

Bloggers Stand in Remembrance of Humanity on April 27th
(PressMethod) - With the intent to ask the masses to remember humanity when they think of major competitive events such as the Olympics, set to be hosted in Beijing by a country guilty of involvement in numerous civil rights violations and outright oppression, April 27th is being observed as the day the question must be asked for Darfurians, and Tibetans to name only a few countries that have been affected by China’s lack of concern for human rights, ‘Am I not human?’
The Olympics have been said to represent friendship and humanity, but the oppressive realities China has taken part in seem to willfully ignore higher Olympic principles.
The ‘Am I not human?’ blog campaign involves bloggers from a myriad of cultures recognizing the symbolic importance the Olympics claim to represent and the direct violation towards humanity China is guilty of in its act as a supplier to Oppressive forces in the Sudan, and it’s unspeakable acts towards Tibetan Monks.
The campaign’s strategy is to educate, motivate and activate. A small ebook will be available for download detailing the background of the struggle in Darfur and Tibet, highlighting real actions that can and should be taken. The ebook will present the opportunity to continue action offline within our communities by anyone claiming to be interested in making a positive change.
Conscious Blogger Eddie Griffin shares, “We will no longer idly stand by and watch such blatant hypocrisy as human beings are inhumanely preyed upon.”
The Blog Campaign participants will post in unity on the 27th of each month until real measurable, progressive change can be seen in Darfur and Tibet.

Betsy Apple, the Director of the Crimes Against Humanity Program at Human Rights First and Eric Sears, a program officer in the same program, recently wrote at the Huffington Post that China continues to downplay the link between it’s arm sales to Sudan and the genocidal depopulation technique being administered in Darfur.
Last week the Chinese foreign ministry dismissed the findings of a new Human Rights First report that identified China as the single largest provider of small arms to Sudan, promising the world that its arms sales are “always highly prudent”.
Whenever a word such as prudent is used I always sense of cover up and Chaplin’s voice speaks to me, “More than logic; We need compassion”.
Prudence is a word stuck in logic.
Look at the definition of the word Prudence:
1 : the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason ~ One can reason anything right or wrong.
2 : sagacity or shrewdness in the management of affairs
3 : skill and good judgment in the use of resources ~ The third definition is more in line with China’s policy. They want to secure Darfur’s oil of which they hold the majority of. By selling the arms used to murder and displace people living in the vicinity of their oil wells is China utilizing it’s resources in good judgment?
4 : caution or circumspection as to danger or risk ~ When the genocide or depopulation campaign started in 2003 so did China’s arm sales to Sudan, hardly a drop of logic is needed to put the two together in regards to caution as to risk or danger.
The article also rightly states that the Beijing Olympics are becoming a pr nightmare for China. That is why we have designated the Olympic Sponsors a primary target.
Email or call the Olympic Corporate Sponsors.
Send a letter to companies sponsoring the 2008 Olympics, hosted by China. (Dream for Darfur’s email system will let you do this with the touch of a button.)
Pledge to turn off the commercials of Olympic Sponsors during the Games.

If sponsors continue to ignore China’s complicity in the Darfur genocide, we will ignore their million-dollar ad campaigns.

When I first found this song via a documentary, my husband made fun of me.
I played it over and over and over again. Wouldn’t You?
The Great Richie Havens, Freedom, Woodstock 1969
Handsome Johnny, one of my favorite protest songs
He gives everything to the audience. Amazing.

I have just finished gathering up all participants in yesterday’s BlogBlast. I am overwhelmed at the strength of our movement.
Bloggers became activists. I am still reeling.
Modern Musings is going to work this blogblast by extending it through spotlights, additional information and there is another Darfur related movement in the mix, collaborating with the UltraViolet Underground on that one.
We are far from done. Humanitarian work feeds the soul and I’m hungry.
Here is the latest compilation of all the conscious bloggers who have expended their time and effort to educate, motivate and activate for our Darfurian family.
I am especially grateful for the promotion of the action items.
If you haven’t added your name to be counted, please do so now.
