Blogging for Human Rights

I would like to post a reminder that May 15th is Blogging for Human Rights Day.

As Caoimhin O’Flute mentions in his post “we must continue in the efforts to publicize China’s human rights violations before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games in August.”

In that regard, he goes on to say that the graphic is “…called “Dancing Beijing Man (in chains) Olympic Logo”, and the concept were created by Faithmouse. The idea is to post this graphic on your site and to link to all the others (or as many as you can) who do the same. This crosslinking should boost the graphics’ rating on Google and other search engines thereby raising awareness to the suffering caused by the Chinese government.”

C’mon! Get on the Bus!

Hi,

I stopped by today to visit after meeting you at Life’s Little Inspirations. Thank you for visiting. You have a very nice site here and I enjoyed reading. I will be back. I didn’t know that May 15th was blogging for Human Rights day so thanks for making me more aware!
I love making new friends!

I want to thank Loraleigh and every other blogger who has partipated for making this project very successful.

Search results for the logo are currently Google page #1 for both ‘Olymic logo’-

and ‘Beijing Olympic logo’-

You’ve made a difference! This is particularly meaningful in light of recent news that China plans to restrict journalist and athlete Internet browsing while at the Summer Games.

I agree, human rights are a very important thing to support, in all stages and places of life. I notice that young babies are often overlooked and even killed, this is certainly a human rights violation! Nowdays we have so many places where we see violations of human dignity, from babies, to tibet, to “aged people”. Great to see someone fighting for this cause.
