The first annual Bay Area Walk Against Genocide will take place at 12 p.m. Sunday, April 10 around Lake Merritt in Oakland.
Genocide survivors, community leaders, students and others will come together for a day of reflection, speeches, advocacy training and walking to raise awareness about past and present genocides. All proceeds from the walk, supported by several Bay Area Jewish organizations, will benefit American Jewish World Service, Catholic Relief Service and the San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition.
Donations requested for the walk are $20 for families, $10 for individuals, $7 for students and $5 for children. For more information or to register, visit www.walkagainstgenocide.org.
