Sudan: The Passion of the Present: Darfur attracts attention throughout Pittsburgh this month

Sudan: The Passion of the Present: Darfur attracts attention throughout Pittsburgh this month The coalition's rally will kick off on April 28 at 2 p.m. at Freedom Corner, Hill District. It will be a gathering of organizations from the mid-Atlantic region. Actress Mia Farrow is scheduled to address the Pittsburgh marchers.

The next day, the coalition will host a citywide letter-writing campaign and divestment workshops.

Mr. Rosenberg is pleased to see so many join the effort, but he remains cautiously optimistic.

'I'm excited to see the advocacy, but in all the time [that] it's taken, there has been a terrible toll on Sudan. We need a solution.'
