the campaign to save darfur

INSTANT KARMA: The Campaign to Save Darfur combines the power of music and the voices of millions of concerned people – just like you – to stop the horrific human rights abuses taking place in Darfur, Sudan.

Speak out, get the music and feel the instant karma!

• Sign the global petition and demand action from world leaders to stop the killing in Darfur.
• Order the new double CD of John Lennon's music by some of today’s best-known artists
• Tell your friends and help build the movement for peace in Darfur.

New recordings of John Lennon’s songs

More than 50 top musicians – Green Day, Avril Lavigne, U2, R.E.M. and many others – have made original recordings of John Lennon’s songs. A portion of revenue from INSTANT KARMA music downloads and CD sales will directly support Amnesty International’s human rights work. Thanks to Yoko Ono, who generously granted rights to Lennon’s entire solo songbook to Amnesty International.

Why Dafur?

Because it is the centre of one of the most horrifying and unnecessary conflicts our time – made far worse because most of the victims are civilians.

• 300,000 people have died.
• 2.5 million have been forced from their homes.
• More than 4.5 million people are at risk of attacks, starvation and disease.

Imagine this happen in Canada. Ever person in B.C. and Alberta – or every person in Greater Toronto and nearby cities – all dead, or forced to flee for their lives, or at daily risk of starvation and military violence. 

The Darfur conflict will only end if United Nations members intervene with sufficient force – and this can only happen if enough of us, millions of us, demand action.

Vocal public pressure has stopped human rights catastrophes before – East Timor is one example. Now’s the time to speak out for the people of Darfur
