Walks for Peace - The Journey to end Nuclear Weapons 2010

Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 10:59pm

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 2^nd. 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.

This Week's Uplifting Story

YEPPIES (YOUNG, ENGAGED PROBLEM SOLVERS)

"Yeppies--a group of young people distinguished by a reliance on social media and socializing to fuel their activism--came into existence only a few years ago. They enjoy volunteering and have the most faith that individuals can solve social problems. Improving the world is both important to them and a way to connect with like-minded peers. Open to a variety of causes, they're particularly susceptible to getting involved because of a friend's "ask." They derive great stimulation and satisfaction from their activism and donate often and widely. Two-thirds of Yeppies are women, and of the three types, this one has the highest percentages of African-Americans and of single people."

This Week's Uplift comes from the works of the "Fellowship of Reconciliation"
