Big Tents Of Hope - The Darfur Alert Coalition
11/09/2008
Have you heard about The Darfur Alert Coalition (DAC)? DAC is a Philadelphia-area coalition of American and Sudanese-born activists raising awareness of the crisis in Darfur. DAC leadership draws heavily from the Darfurian immigrant community to provide their insight and help guide the work. Thoroughly interfaith and interracial, DAC's ranks include educators, businessmen, artists, students, peace activists, and other concerned citizens. Together, through public education and determined advocacy, DAC is raising awareness about the crisis, helping to support the oppressed, and working together to advance a just and lasting peace in Darfur.
From November 7 - 9 DAC is participating in The Gathering of Tents project in Washington D.C. The Gathering of Tents will be a spectacular assemblage of 300 painted tents on the National Mall. This event is being held just three days after the presidential election to send a ringing message that Darfur must be a priority for the next administration.
