What: Dream for Darfur Olympic Torch Relay
When: Sunday, October 14, 2:00-4:00pm
Where: IUPUI, near Pyramid Fountain, off W. New York Street.  Click here for directions 

The Dream for Darfur campaign is a symbolic Olympic Torch Relay from Darfur to Beijing. We lit the first torch this August in eastern Chad, across the border from Darfur. It has since traveled to Rwanda and will continue to places associated with genocide – Armenia, Bosnia, Cambodia and Germany – in the coming months, linking atrocities in these countries to the current genocide in Darfur.
 
The U.S. leg of the Relay kicked off in New York City on September 9. The torch will come to Indianapolis on October 14, and will give local activists an opportunity to pressure China to take immediate action to help end the genocide in Darfur. It will then continue to more than 20 cities across the United States, ending in Washington, D.C. on World Human Rights Day.  
 
The Indianapolis event will feature:

• Ibrahim Musa Adam, Darfurian activist
• Eva Kor, founder of CANDLES Holocaust Museum
• Mustafa Mohamed, child survivor from Darfur
• Performances by an African dance group and a local ballet troop
• Performances by local bands BPN and Rythmn Wreckers

A social justice fair will follow the event, which will help you get involved with organizations working for Darfur.
 
Please join us as we urge the Chinese government to help bring the Olympic motto “One World, One Dream” to Darfur.
