The Save Darfur Coalition and Dream for Darfur are asking people to help pressure four of the Beijing Olympics corporate sponsors, Coca Cola, General Electric, Volkswagon, and Swatch, to use their influence to call for an end to the genocide in Darfur. They've set up a national day to protest, with seperate rallies going on all around the country.
In Massachusetts, there will be a rally at 3:30 at Boston Volkswagon, 168 Western Ave, Alston MA 02134.
If you can attend the rally, bring friends. If you're free the 20th but you won't be in Massachusetts, here is a list of other rallies around the country. If you can't make it one the 20th, regardless of the location, but you want to help out, go here and send e-mails to the four corporate sponsors.

This is the blog from the Save Darfur Campaign of UMass Amherst's MassPIRG chapter. The blog will feature background information about Darfur, the Congo, Burma and the genocides that are occurring around the world. It will also feature actions that can be taken to help stop the suffering, and during the schoolyear, it will feature information about events and campaigns that the group is working on on the UMass Amherst campus.
