   Instant Karma: The Amnesty Iinternational Campaign to Save Darfur
 
 Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, a collection of iconic songs by former Beatle and peace activist John Lennon recorded by an array of best-selling artists including U2, Green Day, R.E.M., Avril Lavigne, Big & Rich, and Snow Patrol, among others. The double album is due out on Warner Bros. Records June 12.
  In keeping with its long tradition of combining music with activism, Amnesty International, the world's largest human rights organization, is launching this campaign to focus attention and mobilize activism around the urgent catastrophe in Darfur, Sudan. The "Bed-Ins for Peace" and "Instant Karma" events center on saving the lives of innocent women, children and men who are dying by the thousands in this region.
 
  Green Day's newly recorded cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" became available for purchase through iTunes on April 30th, with all proceeds from sales of the track going to Amnesty International. The band will also shoot a video for the song.
