I have created a slideshow that can be placed in your sidebar if you are planning on participating on April 13th for the In Solidarity: Global Day for Darfur.
The Mission is to build upon Amnesty International’s global efforts within the blogsphere.
The Strategy is to Educate, Motivate and Activate toward ending the genocide in Darfur.
Educate through analysis of reports and news materials, compilations of facts through viral multimedia like podcasts and videos posted on Youtube and linking to articles, blog posts, and viral media to expand public knowledge of the Darfuri genocide. Any and all aspects can be focused on; such as the root causes of the murder, who is behind it, and what the international community has done to promote the murder and to end it.
Motivate through the capacity within humanity for empathy. Motivate through love. Pull at heart strings, communicate the sameness of Darfuri families and your own, and share the simple, common fact that we are all the same and the suffering of the Darfuri people is felt within our hearts. Motivate through the anger for the greed, the murder, and the lack of action.
Activate through petitions, open letters, letters to all our elected officials as well as U.N., Sudanese and Chinese officials, and speaking out to the corporate sponsors of the Beijing Olympics as China plays a key role.
I will be adding some facts, links and viral media in the coming days which anyone can grab and use. I will also have some fact sheets and other materials to spread. Since we are building a movement, I will prominently display all participants’ contributions and continue with the link love.
I will add new participants to the slideshow. The code for the slideshow can be found here entitled In Solidarity: Global Day for Darfur.
If you want to add the code to your sidebar let me know in the comments since one measurement needs to be changed in the html code depending upon the size of your sidebar.
