Walks for Peace — The Journey to end Nuclear Weapons 2010
As plans are underway for an international conference in New York City on Nuclear disarmament, peace walks are planned (and in many cases are underway). Various Buddhist communities have organized walks and invited others to join them either in the walk or by providing hospitality. Walkers include Buddhist monks and nuns. All are welcome. One sponsoring community writes: "Please join us by walking for an hour, a day, or for the entirety. You can support us by organizing a community potluck, a sharing circle, a visit to your mayor, a place for our walkers to sleep, or coverage by the local media. Also please keep this walk in your thought and prayer."
Information on four walks has been shared with the Fellowship of Reconciliation. All four walks culminate in New York City for the Rally and March on Sunday, May 2nd. The May 2nd Rally is an international call for an end to nuclear weapons in the US and around the world.
Walks will pass through Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York State, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Vermont.
For information on these walks, see the downloadable flyers available on the FOR website or contact the specific sponsoring organization and walk coordinator.
