The Road to Beijing. One year from today, the Summer Olympic Games will begin in Beijing, China.

China's economic, political, and military ties to the Sudanese government give it considerable influence over Sudan's decisions. China therefore has a tremendous responsibility to help end the violence in Darfur.

Unfortunately, so far, China's actions have not been enough.

As the 2008 Olympics draw near, we must ramp up world pressure on China to help end the genocide in Darfur. Click the link below now to sign a petition to help make sure China gets the message.
