Peacewalk for a Nuclear Free Future to start here
A group of dedicated activists is walking from Richmond to the 2015 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference at the United Nations in New York City in April. One of the organizers writes: “We are starting in Richmond because we want to bring the energy of all of the good things happening there with us as we walk.” The walk will be led by Reverend Jun Yasuda, (affectionately known as “Junsan”) a Nipponzon Myohoji Buddhist nun who has been walking around the country and the world for more than 40 years.
The group will meet in a prayer circle before beginning the walk, and you are invited to join in and to see them off. If you’d like to start the walk with them, the route on the 20th will go to West Oakland, passing many BART Stations along the way, so it would be possible to walk part of the day and BART back. (A support car is also available if someone can’t make it to a BART Station for some reason.)
