The Texas State Legislature proclaimed April 2011 as Genocide
Awareness and Prevention Month. The first San Antonio Walk Against
Genocide was held in April 2012. This year we will continue to build on
the precedent set by our legislature and hold the
Second Annual San Antonio Walk Against Genocide, where people of all ages and backgrounds
will gather to walk with genocide survivors. The goal of the walk is to
inform and engage the San Antonio Community about genocide and mass
atrocities happening in the world today.
The second annual San Antonio Walk Against Genocide will take place on April 7, 2012 at
Barshop Jewish Community Center.
Organizations working in the areas of conflict resolution,
peace-building and genocide awareness/prevention will have tables where
Walk participants can educate themselves and learn how to get involved.
Funds raised will support the San Antonio Coalition Against Genocide
to further support genocide prevention and other groups working to help
survivors of genocide.
