March for Darfur

The Pittsburgh Darfur Emergency Coalition’s Destroyed Villages Project will hold a march and rally in downtown Pittsburgh on Sunday, May 18th. Each person marching will represent one of the 2,751 villages damaged or destroyed villages of Darfur and will carry a sign representing the people of that village. Fred O’Leary will be our point person, and all friends and members of Sixth Church are invited to participate.

We will gather at Freedom Corner (Centre & Crawford, just above the Mellon Arena) a little before 2 PM. Donations of $10 per participant are requested by the march organizers, and the Church and Community Committee will cover that cost for Sixth members/friends who are going to participate. Please let Fred know if you will be marching and let him know if you need a ride; he will submit your name and the payment to the march organizers so that your sign will be ready.
