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. |

Thank you for all that you are doing for your community!
If you can coordinate organizing the event for your area, please email us and let us know.
Here are a few suggestions of what you can do to have the Peace and Freedom Walk support the issues that your community is working on, when the walkers and runners come through your area: - Secure an event venue and time(try a school, church, or grange)
- Locate local speakers:
peace workers
civil liberty safe-zone resolution advocates
native tribes
other important local issues
musicians
Peace and Freedom Walkers
- Invite your community
phone calls
email lists
flyers
radio public service announcements
- Invite the media
radio
tv
newspapers
alternative media / indymedia
- You can have a media event when the walk comes through any town on the route, not just the evening destination.
With the relay runners, the Peace and Freedom Walk will be covering about 40 miles a day, so there are plenty of towns along the route that can have a media and community event during the day.
- Request donations for the walk as you talk to people in your community
