We don't have the Olympic torch stopping in Baristaville, but hundreds of people are expected to carry their own torch protesting the genocide in Darfur at a walk and rally this Sunday beginning at Montclair High, ending at the First Congregational Church, 40 South Fullerton Avenue. Gloria Crist, of Montclair, has organized the day's events with Essex County Coalition for Darfur.
Sponsored by Montclair High and MSU students, the one-mile walk begins at 2pm, led by Team Darfur, Olympic athletes raising funds and awareness about the humanitarian crisis. Doug Lennox, a member of the US Olympic and Princeton swim teams, will join them. Governor Corzine and Senator Robert Menendez are expected to speak at the 3 pm rally.

It's very important to speak out against genocide. Otherwise somebody might think you're for it!
