Cited in the Declaration were grievances against King George including:
“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, [the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”] …the merciless Indian Savages… description was used to justify The Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny, the genocide of two continents.

2024 PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTERFAITH PEACE WALK
July 28, 2024 Vancouver, WA
“Waterfront to WSU” 9-noon

In Seattle, two months ago, the longest and best attended PACNW Interfaith Peace Walk in 20 years was held from SeaTac to Ballard. It was dubbed “25-Mile Walk” because that is the length of the Gaza Strip north to south.

Over 1000 people, of various ages and diversities participated. Hundreds of young people participated in a peace walk for the first time! More than 2/3 were women. This was a new and clear demonstration, not just against nuclear/space weapons, but PRO Care for Creation (no Climate Change) and Pro Human Rights (Nonviolence). All were invited to stop for lunch at the Seattle Native Duwamish longhouse!

"On that day, at that moment, I drew a picture of hope and a good outlook for the future of humanity. Not only was it a very moving event, but it was also very epoch making. The people who participated in this walk will surely remember the experience for the rest of their lives. It will become a feathered seed and fly all over the world in the future!" Senji

In comparison, our local effort for 15 years of 10 mile walks each year seems small in comparison. Previous walks began as far South as Eugene, OR and have previously included our sister city, Portland. This year, the walk begins here at Vancouver, WA for the first time and will include the other I-5 corridor cities, ultimately concluding in Seattle August 6th. The event is held in August every year, in memory of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Atomic Bombings, which targeted and killed over 200,000 civilians, including women and children.

All are also welcome to the Lantern Ceremony culmination event in Seattle (Aug 6) which has been organized for over 40 years by Shirley Shimada and Martha Bryce, who celebrated her 90th birthday this year! Literally, the torch will be passed this year to all of us! Even the smallest of efforts and/or contributions will help pass the torch! Even a single step of our 10 miles per day walk, contributes to the realization and vocalization of world peace. Those that can’t walk are encouraged to join the car caravan that supports the walk effort. You could offer to cohost lunch and/or potluck after-party, all are welcome! Please walk with us!

This annual Peace Walk is organized (or sponsored) by Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Order, Portland, Vancouver (WA) & Tacoma Catholic Workers, Indian People Organizing for Change(California), Ground Zero Ctr. For Nonviolent Action, Veteran For Peace & more. [Contact] Rev. Senji Kanaeda 206-780-6739, 206-724-7632 (cell.) [email protected] Nipponzan Myohoji Temple 6154 Lynwood Ctr. Rd.
