While Congress votes for war, Students "March for Peace” – walking every step of over 3000 miles!
Join (all who sign on from the Bay Area) to KICK OFF the “March for Peace” on
Monday, May 21st at 11:00am
in front of City Hall, San Francisco
As
anniversaries to an illegal war tick by year after year, one small
group takes an incredible stand against continued war and occupation in
the
Middle East. Half dozen students plan an unprecedented and courageous march from SF to DC – all on foot!
· Interview these young people to find out what is fueling
their determined stance and action to walk across the country, with all their supplies on their back!
· Marchers will joint them along the way.
· Huge rally in Omaha, NE – at their “half-way” point
The organizers state:
“We are organizing a march across the United States over the summer of 2007 to raise awareness about the need for peace and to unite people in a discussion of how we can take action and solve problems nonviolently.”
To these young new activists, “Marching for Peace” means marching for:
•Nonviolent resistance to war efforts
•End of genocide in Darfur and all crimes against humanity
•Civil disobedience to social injustices and orders of war
•End of nuclear weapon holding and
proliferation
•Principles of sustainability and global citizenship
Event
initiated by the future generation! Endorsed by (??) Not In Our Name,
International Socialist Organization, World Can’t Wait, Code Pink,
Answer, Bay Area United Against War…and lots of regular people that are
opposed to the continuation of this illegal, immoral war! We uphold these courageous young people, and anticipate their stories as they cross the entire United States on
foot.
