Just a quick post:

The Olympic torch is coming to SF on Wednesday, April 9, for its only stop in North America. There are protests going on tomorrow and Wednesday, condemning China’s human rights abuses.

Save Darfur:

Come to San Francisco on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 and urge China to use its influence with the Government of Sudan to end the Darfur genocide. San Francisco is the only location in North America on the torch relay route–this is a unique opportunity! 11am-4pm– or any time in between.

Meet at 11am at either of two locations:

Corner of 3rd St. and Townsend St., near AT&T Park, for the start of the relay. (Up to 2-3 miles of walking.) We’ll then follow the torch on the route!

One Maritime Plaza, on Clay St near Embarcadero Bart, to help us line the torch route. (Less walking.) We’ll also be there for the end of the relay!

SF Team Tibet:

7 P.M. Monday, 4/7

Candlelight Vigil at Downtown Berkeley BART. Also, the International Campaign for Tibet will host an interactive conversation on the situation in Tibet and other human rights considerations around Beijing’s hosting of the 2008 Olympics. The event is free and will be at the Joseph Wood Krutch Theatre on the Clark Kerr Campus of UC Berkeley, 2601 Warring Street.
