‘Am I not Human?’
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.
