HOPE (Helping Other People Everywhere) is an energy conscious 501(c)3 non-profit focused on involving artists and their contributions in campaigns, programs and events to support existing social projects that promote education and peace around the world.
The organization was founded by Creative Producer and Graphic Artist, Andi Scull and former Marine Captain, International Cease Fire Monitor and Human Rights Advocate, Brian Steidle. They believed artists and creatives worldwide could use talents and skills to aid human rights issues, awareness building and sustainable global growth by becoming involved through HOPE and peace.
In 2007, HOPE worked to bring the crisis in Darfur to the forefront of the media by raising awareness through the creative class and developing collaborative projects and funds to help existing social projects move forward in sustainability.
With the help of Shepard Fairey, Obey Giant and several other groups and artists, HOPE brought awareness about genocide to over 10 million people and funded educational programs for Darfur and six other projects in Africa.
HOPE is expanding in the U.S. and abroad. After the success and growth of 2008, HOPE is collaborating with more artists and partners to assist in the form of talent, technology, products and funds for 2009 HOPE Projects and Events.

"April 29, 2009
Activist-actress Mia Farrow began an extended hunger strike in solidarity with the people of Darfur on April 27, 2009. She intends to continue this water-only fast for 21 days.
Please visit www.fastdarfur.org for all the info.
Darfur Fast for Life was created so that you and many more around the world can participate in saying no to the status quo on Darfur. Mia will be blogging here. Others will join by participating in water-only and/or “refugee rations” fasts to bring attention to the immediate humanitarian crisis in Darfur created by the expulsion of aid organizations by the government of Sudan. Darfur Fast for Life demands from our leaders around the world to be ambitious and work on creating lasting peace in Sudan and guaranteeing the respect for the human rights of all."
