Challenged by our experiences of violence across the Twin Cities in recent years, Friends for a NonViolent World (FNVW), in collaboration with Twin Cities Nonviolent (TCNV) and many other peace and justice groups, are organizing a Walk for Peace and Justice on September 30, 2023.
The walk takes place on Day 10 of Twin Cities Nonviolent annual 12 Days Free from Violence. Brackett Park in Minneapolis is the kick-off location. We will walk to the Lake Street/Marshall Avenue Peace Bridge for a Hands Across Mississippi: Clean Water, Clear Air and Clean Land ceremony sponsored by TC Nonviolent and Vote Climate.
WAMM’s End Military Madness Against the Earth and Veterans for Peace Chapter 27 will be walking the 1/2 mile walk. PLEASE JOIN US We would like both WAMM and VFP members to JOIN US and ALL walkers for peace and justice ARE WELCOME. WAMM and VFP will take the 1/2 mile walk to the bridge for ceremonies. We will have signs available.
As you can see on the schedule, the 1/2 mile walk starts about 11:15. You can come earlier and socialize. The festivities begin with coffee and meet and greet at Brackett Park beginning at 10:00 am. Address: 3800 E.28th St., Minneapolis.
Together we will uplift the vision of a world beyond violence and a culture rooted in nonviolence as we create collaborative communities.
