Yobachi has the call to action.

I previously told you about Amnesty International’s Day of Action for Darfuron October 24th; which is next Wednesday.

In conjunction, the Afrosphere Jena 6 Coalition is morphing into the Afrosphere Darfur Action Coalition to Blog Against Genocide on this day, with the aim of raising public awareness of this atrocity and applying public pressure to politicians.

I hope you will participate, and put forth at least this little effort towards helping end this humanitarian crisis.

We’re going to do this something like the Day of Blogging for Justice, so please comment and let us know if you’re going to blog against genocide on the 24th.

We ask that the post against genocide contain the following elements:

1. Ask your readers to call or mail the congress and, or, the white house.

2. A link to a cribbed letter (whatever one you like) that people can send and use as talking points. I found this pretty good one on an Oprah site. Who know she was even up on this issue?

3. A Virtual Marcher Pictures, such as was done for Jena 6.

4. A list of 3 succinct reasons you think the Darfur situation threatens humanity as a whole

5. A pledge in one’s own words to boycott the Olympic games and their sponsors if the sponsors don’t take a stance to persuade China to act on their influence over Sudan (In conjunction with signing the Global Petition at Dreamfordarfur.org.

6. Post a found video or make a youtube (or other video vendor) based Darfur video that they believe motivates action.

I know it’s a number of particular request, but it’s really not that much to take and post a picture, find a youtube video, post a couple of links to letters, and make a list of 3 reasons; especially considering we are talking about people being systematically raped and slaughtered.

Thanks for your participation – this will be another successful campaign
