Join "655,000 Steps for Peace"

Peace Action of Washington invites you to join us on a five day walk for peace in and around Seattle, from March 15 to 19.

March 19 marks the fourth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. The most credible study of deaths due to the war showed that roughly 655,000 Iraqis had been killed by last July. We'll walk 655,000 steps--248 miles--to remember the cost of this war, and to give the people of the Seattle metropolitan area a chance to take a few steps for peace.

The walk will begin in downtown Seattle and wind through most of the neighborhoods in our region, travelling 24 hours a day and ending Monday 19th at the coalition-sponsored rally and march to the Seattle City Council, where we'll join a large crowd of people to urge the Council to pass a resolution opposing the war.

Everyone is invited to participate for a mile or a day, or just to drop in to talk about how America can increase our security by decreasing our militarism, and how you can connect with the neighborhood peace group in your community.

Participants will walk, distribute literature, inform people about upcoming events and meetings of their neighborhood's local peace group, and help people find ways to be effective advocates for peace and justice.

Local peace groups, churches and religious congregations, schools, youth groups and other organizations and individuals are encouraged to contact Peace Action to help make the event a success in your neighborhood. To join, or for more information, contact me at freefred@drizzle.com.
