Eleven Walkers - Two Weeks: L.A. to San Francisco So Far... The walkers have walked about ten miles a day for almost two weeks. From Santa Barbara, they joined the monthly vigil at Vandenberg Air Force Base (Global Command Center for flying weapons of mass destruction), and then supported work for a civil-liberties safe zone in San Luis Obispo. After car troubles, they went up the coast, through Morro Bay and Big Sur, and on to Santa Cruz. They were in Half Moon Bay on Tuesday, then went on to the Bay Area for a busy few days of peace marches. A huge thank you for everyone who has supported the walkers along the way so far. Every little bit helps - food, enthusiastic sharing, monetary donations, phone calls and emails for logistics help, media contacts, eveything. We hope that your efforts have been returned by encouragement for the work you are doing in your community. There will be details filled in from the walkers when they have time to get the information back. Anyone with news reports, photos, or your own experiences, please send them to us in an email, and we will put those on the site. |
