Darfur Action Group
The Darfur Action Group (DAG) was established in 2006 to divest state funds from the Kansas Public Employees Retirement fund. After successfully passing that legislation and having it signed into law by Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, DAG has continued to educate and fundraise to combat genocide.
News StoryJun 16, 2008Posted by:The relay, entitled Never Ignore, Never Forget, is an initiative of eight students from Wichita, Kansas to raise awareness of past and on-going genocides. The team left Wichita, KS on June 2, 2008 on a 1,300 mile course to Washington D.C. Averaging 104 miles daily, the team took only two weeks to reach the Capitol City. In addition to raising awareness of genocide, the group has also set a goal of $100,000 to aid the civilian protection program in Darfur, Sudan sponsored by the Genocide Intervention Network.
