WORLD MARCH FOR PEACE AND NON-VIOLENCE

The World March for Peace and Non-Violence is already underway, having started in New Zealand on 2 October 2009 - the anniversary of Gandhi?s birth, declared the ?International Day of Non-Violence? by the United Nations. It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on 2 January 2010. The World March is being endorsed by respected international personalities, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Dalai Lama, Eduardo Galeano, Noam Chomsky, Yoko Ono, Bryan Adams, Juanes, Penelope Cruz, Philip Glass, David Suzuki, Eleven Heads of State and many others.

The World March will last 93 days, three long months of travel. Visiting many cities through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia.

LOS ANGELES PASSAGE OF THE PEACE MARCH

In LA we plan to do something special (and a little different) in affirming our commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons, nonviolence and respect with our local heritage.

Morning and noon:

The Marchers start with a Civic Reception at the Mayor's Office

A noon greeting by the Indigenous Tongva. This will take place at the Farmlab on North Spring. We will share a potlacht meal.

Afternoon:

We will meet at 6pm at Mac Arthur Park and walk in a peaceful and non-violent manner down Wilshire Blvd to Berendo, Marchers are encouraged to carry your own banners and/or flashlights for a vigil for Peace. A group of marchers will also come by train from Long Beach to join us.

Upon our arrival at Immanuel Presbyterian Church, we will celebrate with a WORLD MARCH PEACE CONCERT for ?ALL" -Affirming Life & Love-, Alturas will headline along with Deep Stirrings, belly dancers and much, much more. The Peace Concert will also provide us with the opportunity to meet the members of the core group and to hear from some of our local peace promoters.
