BAY AREA WALK AGAINST GENOCIDE (LAKE MERRITT)

APRIL 10, 2011

Hey there Oakland! Hope you guys had a great weekend. I just left the 1st Annual Bay Area Walk Against Genocide at Lake Merritt. Heard stories of genocide survivors, met with tons of other organizations that address global issues such as human rights, fair trade and genocide. I talked to tons of Bay Area and Oakland residents about making Oakland a Fair Trade Town and was able to get a lot of supporters! Spread the word about Fair Trade Oakland. Oakland is so ready for this! It’s awesome being in the community and meeting so many Oakland residents that are supporters of Fair Trade. The walk was a great turn out and thanks for everyone that came out to walk against genocide.
