The Details

Darfur Activists at Beijing Olympics Torch Relay (Other)

Come to San Francisco on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 and urge China to use its influence with the Government of Sudan to end the Darfur genocide. San Francisco is the only location in North America on the torch relay route--this is a unique opportunity! 11am-4pm-- or any time in between.


TORCH ROUTE RELEASED!! View the torch route map and a related news article.


Meet at 11am at either of two locations:


Corner of 3rd St. and Townsend St., near AT&T Park, for the start of the relay. (Up to 2-3 miles of walking.) We'll then follow the torch on the route!


One Maritime Plaza, on Clay St near Embarcadero Bart, to help us line the torch route. (Less walking.) We'll also be there for the end of the relay! Volunteers will be stationed at this location from 11am-4pm to direct people to the torch route.
