Three students begin march across America to oppose war
San Francisco (May 22, 2007) After a brief press conference in front of San Francisco’s City Hall, three students embarked on a "March for Peace” yesterday with the intent of walking every step of over 3,000 miles across North America. If all goes to plan, they will arrive in Washington DC in late August.
A rally is planned in Omaha, Nebraska to mark the march midpoint. “We are organizing a march across the United States over the summer of 2007 to raise awareness about the need for peace and to unite people in a discussion of how we can take action and solve problems nonviolently,” declared march organizer and initiator Ashley Casale.
Supporters from various local anti-war organizations Not in Our Name, The World Can’t Wait – Drive Out The Bush Regime, Code Pink, and the International Socialist Organization helped kick off the journey with a small rally and accompanied the marchers to the Golden Gate Bridge.
