GET INVOLVED. NOW.
Save
Darfur mission is to raise public awareness
about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response
to the atrocities that threaten the lives of two million people in
the Darfur region. Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict
for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed;
more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee
their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan
or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million
men, women, and children are completely reliant on international
aid for survival. Not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has
the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation,
rape, and mass slaughter. www.savedarfur.org
ONE needs
your voice, not your money. ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally
Americans – ONE
by ONE – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty.
ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers and NASCAR moms, Americans

history. ONE believes that allocating an additional ONE percent of the
U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean
water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation
in the world's poorest countries. ONE also calls for debt cancellation,
trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive
package to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme
poverty. www.one.org/

"There's no need to fear. Underdog is here!" The superhero canine with a gift for rhyme returns in an all new live-action re-imagination of the classic cartoon, "Underdog."
After an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, Underdog (voiced by comedian Jason Lee) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebread (voiced by Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams). When a sinister plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threatens to destroy Capitol City only Underdog can save the day. — More here
