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
