Who hasn't heard of the Darfur conflict? Who doesn't want to see it improve? But it's amazing how little press some organisations are getting in their efforts to make a difference. One such organisation is'24 Hours for Darfur', a grassroots video advocacy initative in support of Darfur. They are collecting 1 minute videos (recorded on cell phones, webcams, regular cameras, etc), forwarding them to local and national/international politicians, and screening them in a 24 hour screening in New York on September 16. They've received pretty much no publicity, and it's a great idea!
Here's what you can do:
a) Record a 1 minute video in support of Darfur and forward it to them;
b) Publicise their initiative through blogging, email, etc;
c) DIGG or favourite their youtube video (links below);
d) Favourite their blog on Technorati or other services.
