If you remember, a while ago I posted about The Harry Potter Alliance needing everyone to sign a petition to stop the Darfur Genocide. Finally they have got results!Nick Donovan, the Head of Campaigns, Policy, and Research at the UK-based Aegis Trust said:

You all at the HP Alliance made it possible to send almost 10,000 emails to the UN Security Council, asking for the Council to speak out and put pressure on Khartoum to hand the men over. Without your imaginative campaigns over 3/4 of these emails would never have been sent. The end result is the first ever UNSC presidential statement condemning’s lack of action and demanding an end to impunity. Our actions helped, the pressure generated by other NGOs helped – and the grassroots emails sent by you all really made the difference – showing that it wasn’t just NGOs and members of the elite who care about Darfur – but people from all walks of life disgusted at impunity for mass murder and eager to see action.

This shows that even us Harry Potter fans can make a difference in the world! Keep it up HPA!
