Good on you for posting this, Jelica. Although I HATE being photographed [don't ask -- LOL], I have decided to add my mug to the line-up!

Our Darfur/Darfur exhibit will bring the people of Darfur face to face with world leaders. Now is your chance to go face to face with them as well.

Will you add your picture to our "Don't Forget Darfur" photo petition?

Your photos will create a mosaic that spells out "Don't Forget Darfur"—which we'll deliver along with your petition signatures just before the U.N. General Assembly.

It's not just the people featured in the gripping Darfur/Darfur exhibit who demand a lasting peace.

They are joined by thousands of others—like you and me—who will show President Obama that we haven't forgotten the people of Darfur.

Take a picture with our campaign name "Don't Forget Darfur" and upload it to our photo petition.

This is our opportunity to really show President Obama the faces of this movement.

Grab a friend and your digital camera or camera phone. Hold up a sign saying "Don't Forget Darfur"—create your own design or download and print a sign from our website—then upload it to our "Don't Forget Darfur" photo petition.

We'll make sure that your faces together will be delivered at just the right moment to send a message more powerful than a thousand words.

Thank you!

Hey, can someone please tell me when the deadline for this petition is? My AMnesty group is getting together to have our picture taken. COnflicting schedules make it so we're having it taken very close to the 23rd, which makes me nervous that there may be a deadline I don't know about. Is there one?

No, it is ongoing, but they will make a poster for next G8 meeting
