The Beijing Olympics & Darfur

Keep the spotlight on Darfur during the Olympic Games. Join with Darfur Peace & Development Organization in a unique kind of activism.

On August 8, China and the Olympic sponsors will kick off the Beijing Olympics.

With your help, we will remind the world, the sponsors, and China that immediate action is necessary to resolve the desperate situation in Darfur.

DPDO is collaborating with Dream for Darfur to webcast the Darfur Olympics -- daily alternative programming during the first week of the Games.

The Darfur Olympics will feature reports by Mia Farrow from a Darfur refugee camp, exclusive video clips of conditions, background reports and daily opportunities for action.

To kick off this week of activism, watch the "Alternative Opening Ceremony" on August 8.
Musical artists REM, Talib Kweli, Carly Simon, and many others have donated music videos to help us ensure that the world does not forget about Darfur.

SIGN UP to watch the DARFUR OLYMPICS and the ALTERNATIVE OPENING CEREMONY
