The Beijing Olympics are a crucial chance to persuade China's leaders to improve their human rights record. 
 
China wants the Olympics to be a coming out party for a newly modern, powerful, and respectable nation. But the Olympics are about humanity and excellence - we can't celebrate them in good conscience while ignoring the suffering of Tibetans and others.

Let's all get behind a major new campaign: SAVE THE OLYMPICS. The campaign asks China to save the Olympics for all of us, by making specific, reasonable progress in dialogue with the Dalai Lama, securing release of Burmese and Tibetan political prisoners, and supporting peacekeeping in Darfur.

The message is going to run on billboards and in ads in major Olympic cities, in Chinese diaspora publications, and a Chinese language team will work to engage directly on China’s lively blogs and in chatrooms. We need 10,000 donations from people from 100 countries to kickstart the campaign this week with a truly global sponsorship - click below to see the ads and donate whatever you can, however small:

Within China, where the Olympics were once seen as a victory for greater openness and internationalism, the internal debate has taken a bitter turn. Most Chinese are now growing angry over Olympic activism, seeing it as biased and "anti-Chinese."

If the games are a fiasco, China's repressive hardliners will win the day--and we could see the worst crackdown yet.

We need to stop this, and fast. So this campaign aims to reach out to China and Chinese people to show that we’re not anti-China but pro-humanitarian, and that our desire is to save the 2008 Olympics, not ruin them. Click below to donate now:

The Slogan of the 2008 Olympics is “One World, One Dream”.  Let’s reach across barriers of perception and division, and ask the Chinese to make this dream come true for us this summer.
  
Thanks so much!
