Over 15o high school students attended a detroit2darfur Coalition fundraising event last night in West Bloomfield. Centered around a "battle-of-the-bands," the students learned about the crisis in Darfur and crafted posters for the Rally Against Genocide. Liz Traison, a student at the Jewish Academy of Metropolitan Detroit (JAMD), spearheaded her school's Darfur involvement and recruited over 50 JAMD-peers to participate in the bus caravan to D.C. This detroit2darfur Coalition event was co-sponsored by JAMD, the American Jewish Committee, Congregation Shaarey Zedek and the Michigan Board of Rabbis.
