ANC OF SOUTH FLORIDA WILL TAKE PART IN GENOCIDE PREVENTION PROJECT
- In conjunction with Genocide Prevention Project's launch of Genocide Prevention Month (GPM) on April 2nd, the Armenian National Committee (ANC) of South Florida will take part in a panel discussion organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council and co-sponsored by various organizations to raise awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and efforts to secure concrete U.S. action to stop the killing. Panelists will include: Councilman Andre Williams, Esq. City of Miami Gardens; Reverend Patrick O'Neil, Archdiocese of Miami; Michael Pertnoy, Activist, Filmmaker, & Genocide Intervention Network Carl Wilkens Fellow; Joe Sachs, Holocaust Survivor; Michael Toumayan, Descendant of Armenian Genocide Survivor; and Rositta Kenigsberg, Holocaust Documentation & Education Center, Inc. "The Genocide Prevention Project's efforts to spotlight genocide in April - the month that saw the beginnings of the horrors of the Armenian Genocide, Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and now, Darfur - calls critical attention to the vital role each and every one of us can play to end the cycle of genocide," said Toumayan. "The panel discussion is an opportunity to provide a forum to examine fundamental moral issues caught between competing interests." Cosponsors of the event include the Armenian National Committee of South Florida, Miami Dade College, Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, Students Taking Action Now Darfur, Urgent Times, and Urgent Action. Genocide Prevention Month was launched earlier this year by the Genocide Prevention Project, which is working in conjunction with several organizations, including the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) to encourage renewed action in April to end the cycle of genocide, ANCA reports.
