This poster is from a group organized by New York University that took part in the Rally to Stop Genocide. The demonstration took place in Washington DC on April 30, 2006. It was organized by the Save Darfur Coalition, an alliance of more than 155 faith-based, humanitarian and human rights organizations. It was one of several Darfur awareness rallies on that date that urged President Bush to take steps to end the genocide in Darfur and build a lasting peace. The rally in Washington, DC drew religious leaders, politicians, celebrities, activists, and thousands of concerned individuals.
