350 tents are set up in front of the United States Capitol building by activists trying to re energizer the U.S. Darfur movement and the president-elect.
The tents will be shipped to Darfur to be used as classrooms for kids and as symbols of hope for the people of Darfur.
Organizers envisioned that the painted tents would help to raise awareness and funds to address the conflict in Darfur.
The leaders of the movement expect the president-elect to prioritize the issue and hope that when handling the Sudan policy a figure of high stature will be placed.
“It will be critical that this individual has the ear of the president and the appropriate members of the National Security Council, and that he or she be in frequent communication with a principal member of the National Security Council as designated by the president,” said Save Darfur in a plan for the Obama administration issued on Tuesday.
