Vote for Adam Sterling for the Teen Choice Awards!

Adam Sterling, founder of GI-Net, has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award (airing August 4th on FOX and hosted by Hanna Montana) for his work with the Sudan Divestment Task Force, which is a project of GI-NET. The winner – which will be selected through online voting – will receive $90,000 for their organization!

Please help GI-NET win $90,000 by asking family and friends that are between the ages of 13-19 to vote for Adam Sterling and GI-NET at: www.teenchoiceawards.com/dosomething. You can vote once a day per email address until August 1st (and please forward this message to your friends and family).

Because you are officially required to be 13-19 to vote, if a year before 1989 or after 1995 is selected for date of birth you will not be able to vote.

Over the past few years, GI-NET has raised over $500,000 for civilian protection in Darfur and our membership has grown to over 50,000 people around the world. Through our work with the Sudan Divestment Task Force at least 25 states, 19 major U.S. cities, and 59 universities have adopted policies restricting their Sudan investments. Last year, our movement spread overseas, with ongoing targeted Sudan divestment campaigns in 18 countries. All of the major presidential candidates have divested their personal holdings and we even got President Bush involved when he signed the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act of 2007!

Thanks again for your continued support and taking the time to help GI-NET win $90,000 by asking family and friends that are between the ages of 13-19 to vote for Adam Sterling and GI-NET at: www.teenchoiceawards.com/dosomething.
