Spotlight On: Dream for Darfur
This global advocacy campaign urges China - Sudan's largest business partner, and host of the 2008 Olympics - to use its leverage to press Sudan to create peace in Darfur.
Strategies include:
- Staging three major demonstrations:
Mia from the Camps -- daily broadcasts beginning in August of Mia Farrow interviewing Darfurians in refugee camps, exposing the conditions there
Turn Off for Darfur -- a mass action of consumers pledging to turn off sponsors' TV commercials during Olympic coverage
Actions in Beijing -- keeping Darfur and its people visible at the Games - Pressuring China with organized demonstrations, especially along the torch routes
- Urging Olympic corporate sponsors to put their influence with China to good use
