March 2010 - Walk for a Nuclear-Free Future
The Walk for a
Nuclear-Free Future initiated by the
Nipponzan Myohoji Buddist Order will be coming through
Rochester Monday and Tuesday March 22 and 23. Many of
you
may know Jun-san Yasuda, who has been working for peace in upstate New
York for
decades. ( I first met her when she was fasting for support of the
original Griffis Plowshares group during their trial back around 1982).
We
expect about 25 to 30 marchers. The walk began on March 6th in
Steamburg,
New York and will conclude on
May 2 at the United Nations in New York
City.
The walkers will be arriving from Brockport Monday in
the late afternoon and will be staying at St. Joseph's House of
Hospitality. There will be an ecumenical service at the House at 5pm on
Tuesday with discussion following. There will also be a service
and
discussion starting at noon at the Linehan Chapel at Nazareth College on
Tuesday. The walkers will depart on Wednesday morning. More details
will follow. Or for more information, contact Harry Murray at

Witness against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Come and leave as it
fits your schedule. The goal is to bring an awareness of the war into
our daily lives, remind those driving by that the wars are still going
on, call for our troops to come home, and advocate for another approach
to healing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
