The
Longest Walk Speech of Mahatma Gandhi's "Fujii Guruji"
Excerpt -- "We are about to bury the era of warfare, the era of violence,
the era of murder and destruction...The civilization of the new era, the era
of perpetual peace, will be the spiritual civilization...The religious faith
that the Native Americans have carried down to this day will be the
fountainhead (source) for creating lasting peace in the
future."

OVERVIEW EAST ROUTE PLAN:
This is a Scheduling Offering only. Actual manifestation of the local
peace relay walks depends entirely on local supporters accepting and
implementing this schedule with local peace relay walks on this schedule or
any other schedule before or after these dates in promotion of upcoming
dates, or as a "makeup" event for the below scheduled dates discovered too
late to implement on below schedule. These routes will be the same coming
in the opposite direction in 2004 as the American Peace March 2004 main
route goes from San Francisco 20March to Washington DC 24October, while the Red Silk Road Peace March ( The Red Silk
Road to Peace ) retraces the reverse of this EAST ROUTE on same timing per below.
So this is
all about networking and mobilizing for 2004 and using that event as current
media interest item now to get news coverage of local support peace events
now. In each location, if this or modified schedule for such events is
adopted locally, coordinators there will advise local news media, mayors, et
al, of local schedules and events/messages details as per local
interests.
The American Peace March 2003-2004 EAST ROUTE is from East Steps of US Capitol Building on November 23, 2003, Peace Relay Walking to airport, then overseas to/in Europe, Jerusalem, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, then back to California for Peace Relay Walking from San Francisco airport to end United Nations Plaza on February 29, 2004.
