DECEMBER 7, 2008

Be A Voice for Darfur is an excellent example of multi-channel campaign designed to bring attention to the appalling genocide in Darfur.

On Friday, I was on a "Darfur Activist" conference call produced by ENOUGH , the Genocide Intervention Network , STAND and the Save Darfur Coalition. Anyone could call in and hear an update about developments on the ground in Darfur and Congo, and upcoming legislation, events and campaigns. Photo Credit: Camp by Mark Knobil.

The Save Darfur Coalition asks to organize events, vigils. paulcip @ kanter let everyone propose and lead their own fave activity related to group objectives via mail list, bbs, etc. Deepen relationship through custom apps that improve on org activites (event fundraising, petitions). Create something to attend! I suggest a tweetup.
