First Annual ‘Walk to End Genocide’ to Take Place in DC on April 26

WASHINGTON—On April 26, hundreds will gather in Washington, D.C. for the first annual family friendly Walk to End Genocide hosted by Darfur Interfaith Network (DIN) and Jewish World Watch (JWW). The walk will be part of the largest annual anti-genocide rallies held in the United States during the Genocide Awareness month of April.

A wide-ranging, multi-faith coalition of policymakers, religious leaders, schools, and activists will join for a month of action and walking together to highlight the power of local communities to fight genocides and mass atrocities around the world. The April 26 event in Washington, D.C., will remember and honor Holocaust and genocide survivors and victims, raise funds for anti-genocide educational and advocacy efforts in the U.S., and support on-the ground projects that aid refugees and survivors of the conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, and Congo.
