    ArmInfo. On the eve of the April 1st arrival of Genocide Prevention
    Month, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) today launched
    a nationwide online and print campaign urging concrete action to end
    the Darfur genocide and full U.S.recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

    Echoing Martin Luther King's famous remarks at the Lincoln Memorialin
    August, 1963, the "Fierce Urgency of NOW" campaign urges anti-genocide
    activists across the U.S. to visit www.anca.org/change tolearn
    more about the worsening humanitarian situation in Darfur andhow
    this atrocity fits into the cycle of genocide that started withthe
    Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

    On Monday, March 30, 2009, full page ads were placed in The Politico
    and Roll Call newspapers, primarily targetingAdministration and
    Congressional decision makers in Washington, DC, with a powerful
    graphic bringing together child survivors of the Armenian Genocide
    and Darfur Genocide into a stark visualization of the ongoing cycle
    of genocide. The photos are juxtaposed with President Obama's January,
    2008 campaign pledge to the American people to recognize the Armenian
    genocide if elected the US president.
