#10 -- Instant Karma - The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur
What?
This Christmas give someone the gift of music and a life saving cause with a rockin' dual disc (or one bohemeth sized download if you prefer) of audio skillz. Composed of John Lennon tracks and heavily promoted by U2, this album is a heavyweight of artists...R.E.M., Lenny Kravitz, Snow Patrol, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, etc (even Green Day, which Amos really doesn't care for, but it's about the cause). Proceeds from CD and digital sales will support Amnesty International and its campaign to focus attention and mobilize activism around the urgent catastrophe in Darfur, and other human rights crises.
Why Care?
Hundreds of thousands of people have died since 2003 as a result of the violence raging in Darfur. Some 4.5 million people, or 2/3 of the population of Darfur, are currently at risk of death or displacement. Read more here.

Cost?
Depending on which version of the album you purchase, it seems to cost as little as $11.99 and never more than $19.99. Remember when buying music it's always good to support local music stores (not the mega box stores).

Amos & Crystal...thanks for leveraging your influence for the Save Darfur effort. I'm a big supporter, but sometimes it feels difficult to make a difference when I'm thousands of miles away. But, like Momma T said, "We cannot do great things in this life, we can only do small things with great love." Thanks for doin' your part.
