Sacred Sites Peacewalk now arriving in Santa Cruz/Watsonville! Schedule and info

What is the Peacewalk?:
A two-week interfaith peace walk from the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near San Luis Obispo to the Bay Area. With the tragedy of Fukushima in our hearts, we will walk 15-18 miles a day looking into the safety of land and people along our route, the still-present danger of nuclear weapons, the poisonous nuclear fuel cycle and how to end the nuclear nightmare in California and worldwide. The Diablo Canyon plant defiled a site sacred to the Chumash people, and native lands still bear the brunt of toxic mining and waste disposal that mark the nuclear industry. Accordingly, the walk ends at an indigenous sacred site of true power [Glen Cove/Sogorea Te], consecrated by years of struggle to protect it from development.

How can you support this walk?:
- Lodging/homestays are requested for walk participants, especially for elders.
- Bring food to Thursday or Saturday's evening potlucks (see below!)
