Peace walk!
I recieved a very cool happening from my on-line UU group list...it's about a Peace walk held to create a Peace department in the United States. I love this and I love the message...maybe you can start one in your town or city!

Friends,
We hope you'll join us for this event! Please forward this email to others. Attached is an additional flyer for posting and a pledge/donation form so you can collect pledges/donations (suggested but not required for participation) prior to the walk! See you the 16th!
Join us Saturday, September 16, 2006, 10:00 a.m. at the Heritage Plaza in downtown Altoona for a WALK FOR PEACE!
WHO: YOU, your friends, family, pets, and others ready to literally walk the talk of peace.
WHAT: A 3 mile route (on sidewalks) through Altoona.
WHY: To raise awareness and money to support the national grassroots campaign
to create a Department of Peace in the U.S. federal government.
Legislation is currently before the House (H.R. 3760) and Senate (S.1756) to create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace that would research, facilitate and articulate nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict. The Department of Peace would be led by a Secretary of Peace and include a Peace Academy on par with current military service academies. You can help bring this vision to reality. Participate today!
