In 2007, the JCC together with the Pears Foundation brought Ruth Messinger, President of the American Jewish World Service and founder of the Save Darfur Coalition, to London to speak about the unfolding genocide in Darfur. One year on we revisit the issue to find out how much has changed and what impact activists are having on the campaign.

Hear from Dr James Smith, Chief Executive of the Aegis Trust, Brendan Cox, Director of Crisis Action and Hannah Weisfeld, Social Action and Campaigns Coordinator for the JCC. The panel will be chaired by Rachel Grunwald, founder of the activist arts group Act for Darfur. They will discuss the situation on the ground today, how the international community is responding, and how activists are tapping into their skills to bring the plight of Darfur to the people.
