Like many folks, I plan on watching the Olympic opening ceremonies tonight. Even with some of China’s more frustrating actions, there is a lot of good to support with the games and the power of coming together as an entire world.
But, I also plan on supporting Darfur Olympics, a site dedicated to promoting an end to genocide during the games, and their alternative opening ceremony, celebration of Darfurian children. You can help support them and their cause by watching the video below:
Alternative Opening Ceremony
Also, takepart to learn more about other alternative programming they have lined up, including a new video with Mia Farrow tomorrow.

I personally will not be watching the games at all.
I have friends who love them.
Ads are mostly trash.
I will follow Mia.
