Lobby China Rallies
 | Lobby China through Olympic Corporate Sponsors |
Join STAND's Sudan Executive Legacy Campaign by participating in an Olympic Corporate Sponsor Campaign. STAND will be asking corporate sponsors like Coca-Cola and Staples to use their influence to help bring the Olympic dream to Darfur. These companies have the power to constructively pressure the Chinese government to use their influence with Sudan to obtain protection and proper medical care for the people of Darfur. It's up to us to turn up the heat and put the pressure on. Rallies will take place in numerous cities in the next few weeks.
