So for those you might have tried to access the official website, (http://makesomenoise.org) you will have seen that... there is a spoof error 404 page, basically telling you that the project is over.

true. at least that much. Amnesty International folded the Make Some Noise project at the end of 2007. Of course the album is still available in all good shops and on iTunes. Unfortunately also the situation in Darfur hasn't improved and there is a lot left to do. Of course Amnesty International will keep working on it.

But in the meantime, what becomes of you?
well, you can keep making a difference, check out the spoof page for details .
you can also buy the album if you haven't done so yet.

and finally, well, you can congratulate yourself if you have taken part in the past campaigns.

Last week we received incredible news that the Make SOme NOise campaign to free Zmitser Dashkevich had been successful and that Zmitser (prisoner of conscience in Belarus) had been released early. We were over the moon, and to celebrate, we released an exclusive video retracing the story of that particular campaign.

so enjoy the video, and take it as a thank you from the Make SOme Noise team, and all rights holders round the world for whom you made a difference.

Following intense diplomatic activity and international pressure, the UN Security Council unanimously agreed this July on the mandate of a joint African Union/UN Peacekeeping force to be deployed in Darfur. Many resolutions have been voted but the people of Darfur are still paying the price of inaction with their lives.<br><br>Because every day counts, activists from around the world are urging the international community and its leaders to demonstrate their commitment and deliver on the ground.

Make Some Noise has created a UN-blue "delivery note", a symbol for the millions of Darfuri voices crying out for protection from human rights abuses. Make their voices heard and spread the symbolic note in your community, town, school, on your blog and personal pages.
Print the template --> http://noise.amnesty.org/atf/cf/%7BF...
and personalise it with your own message. If you are feeling creative, become an artivist and take the blue note concept to a different medium: you may want to paint, spray or draw the note, make a poster collage... What matters is that you make the note as visible, public and accessible as possible.

As a final step, take a picture of your note and post it on the Make Some Noise site --> http://noise.amnesty.org/darfurnote,
where the best efforts will be showcased. Remember! We do not want holiday snaps or family dinner portraits! By all means, stand by your note if you wish, but most importantly, demonstrate your creativity in supporting the people of Darfur.

we've got a new bloggers widget to help raise awareness of our Make Some Noise movement and entice people to buy the Instant Karma CD for fundraising; it's wicked - you can hear and buy tunes from the album and sign our petition to show you care.
