Dear The Global Democracy  Project, 

The  Sudanese government uses rape as a weapon against its own  people. 
Help  Dream for Darfur speak out. 
_Sign the  petition calling on Secretary Rice to protect Darfuri women  now._ 
(http://action.savedarfur.org/ct/-p2Ddn11BcYa/)  
In Darfur, men are often  killed or captured when they leave refugee camps to 
collect firewood. So  the women venture out instead—and regularly fall prey 
to a targeted  campaign of rape encouraged by the Sudanese government. 
China blindly  backs the Sudanese government and allows this brutality to 
continue. While  the Chinese government basks in the glow of the Olympic Games, 
it is still  selling Sudan weapons that enable these atrocities. 
This week, our partner  organization, Dream for Darfur, is highlighting 
China's role in this  deteriorating situation as part of their alternative "Darfur 
Olympics."  Will you join them? 
_Click here to help  Dream for Darfur raise awareness about China's role in 
violence against  Darfuri women. And urge Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice 
to take  immediate action._ (http://action.savedarfur.org/ct/-p2Ddn11BcYa/)  
While China hosts the  Olympic Games under the banner of peace and 
brotherhood, Dream for  Darfur's daily webcasts are revealing the devastation enabled by 
China's  weapons. Each day this week, Dream for Darfur is focusing on a 
different  crisis facing the people of Darfur. Today, they're turning the world's 
eye  to widespread sexual violence. 
Sexual violence  in Darfur is not just a series of random acts. It is a 
weapon of  genocide. Peacekeepers have tried to protect women, but they have  
failed because they are short of resources and stretched too thin to do  the job. 
_Show your  support for Dream for Darfur's efforts. Click here to support the 
Darfur  Olympics and urge Secretary Rice to help protect Darfuri  women._ 
(http://action.savedarfur.org/ct/-p2Ddn11BcYa/) 
The world cannot sit by  while sexual violence rages in Darfur. Today, Dream 
for Darfur is speaking  out against this weapon of genocide. Add your voice, 
and demand protection  for the women of Darfur. 
Best regards, 
Colleen Connors
