Coalition for Darfur
Some of you may have noticed a new link on the side of the page for the Coalition for Darfur. This site has been created by left-wing blogger Eugene Oregon of the Demagogue blog and Stephen Dillard of the right-wing Southern Appeal blog. A coalition of blogs has been formed to spread awareness of the crisis in Darfur as well as to raise money. Dillard explains more about the project here.
All of the bloggers on this site have agreed to participate as this is an issue that clearly crosses partisan lines. We may have disagreements on specific remedies, but I believe we all feel very strongly that much more should be done to alleviate the crisis.
Speaking personally, I have been woefully lax in keeping informed of what is a terribly important humanitarian issue, but hopefully now we will be able to join forces across the political spectrum (no pun intended) and do whatever little we can to help. Please click on the link to view the site, and if you so desire once there you can contribute whatever donation you might be able to spare.
