Walk to End Genocide
On April 19th , thousands will gather from throughout Southern California for Jewish World Watch’s 9th annual Walk to End Genocide the largest annual anti-genocide rally in the United States. A wide-ranging, multi-faith coalition of policymakers, religious leaders, schools, and activists will join for a day of action, walking together to highlight the power of local communities to fight genocides and mass atrocities around the world. The event will raise funds for anti-genocide educational and advocacy efforts in the U.S. and to support on-the ground projects that aid refugees and survivors of the conflicts in Sudan and Congo.
This years Walk coincides with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Both tragedies will be commemorated during the event.
The days activities will include craft and activist projects, advocacy booths, food, art, music, and solar cooker demonstrations.
