Demonstrations Against Corporate Sponsors
On June 20th, Dream for Darfur and the Save Darfur Coalition held demonstrations at the corporate headquarters and retail outlets of those sponsors of the Beijing games that have failed to address the Darfur genocide -- despite their responsibility as stakeholders of the Olympics.
Those four companies are General Electric, Coca-Cola, Swatch, and Volkswagen.
Activists from New York to California protested the silent complicity of these sponsors -- urging that they speak out to help end the genocide.
