A picture is worth a thousand words.
I’m more than happy to see social networks using their power for something besides their own self interest.
And though we don’t, for obvious reasons, participate in social network widgets or promotion here
I would like to encourage those of you who have an interest to use this day to promote awareness
of Darfur, or another human rights issue your readers might not be familiar with, and to promote activism there-in.
Let’s get it done people.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas —BlogCatalog.com, the fastest-growing social network for bloggers on the Internet, is partnering with Amnesty International, a worldwide movement that campaigns for internationally recognized human rights, to expand a global social awareness campaign for human rights by launching a major initiative on May 15.
The campaign, Bloggers Unite For Human Rights, asks bloggers from all over the world to post about human rights on the same day, May 15. Collectively, their posts will reach millions of people all over the world at the same time, even in those countries where freedom of expression is regularly suppressed.
“Amnesty International is thrilled to be a part of Bloggers Unite for Human Rights,” said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA. “Bloggers Unite for Human Rights is a great way to harness the power of the Internet to fight injustice and make the world a better place.”
In The Darfur War Crimes Test, a WSJ op-ed by Mia Farrow and Eric Reeves we are once again reminded that
Ahmed Haroun, and Ali Kushayb have yet to be extradite or even pursued by the government in Khartoum.
We are reminded the ICC had no force to do so, they render the verdict, but it is The United Nations Security Council who need to act on this and they have shown little interest in encouraging Sudan to comply just as they have allowed khartoum obstruct the authorized protection force, for the past nine months.
PLEASE NOTE: Screening location has MOVED from McShain Lounge on Georgetown University Campus to ICC Auditorium on Georgetown University Campus

Across the country, tens of thousands of students have shown that we will not stand idly by in the face of genocide. From passing legislation to fundraising for relief and protection efforts in Darfur, we have declared that we are the anti-genocide generation.
But we can do more. That’s why STAND and Participant Productions are proud to sponsor a nationwide tour of the critically acclaimed new documentary, Darfur Now. Five schools around the country, chosen for their outspoken efforts to fight genocide, will host a special screening of Darfur Now and a concert to raise awareness, funds, and send the message that NOW is the time to end genocide in Darfur.
Explore the site to find a screening or concert in your area, listen to music from the artists on the tour, or watch clips about Darfur, STAND, and Participant Productions.
