PROCLAMATION
Whereas, the Global Peace Walk seeks to unite the world in peace, and
Whereas, the history of our world is awash with incidents of
peoples and nations using violence as a method to resolve disputes; and
Whereas, alternative methods for settling world differences should be
explored to resolve differences peaceably without resorting to violence; and
Whereas, senseless loss of life, liberty and prosperity can be diminished
through a vision of global peace; and
Whereas, the Global Peace Walk is comprised of people from many
different races and creeds from all over the world gathering
together to spread the message of "Global Peace Now!" to
develop consciousness and promote knowledge; and
Whereas, the Global Peace Walk coincides with the 50th
anniversary of the United Nations and the United Nations'
50th Anniversary Global Peace Walk began in New York City
on January 15, 1995, with a Peace Pole Ceremony and Vigil
in Flagstaff to be held on May 29; and
Whereas, the Flagstaff community affirms our conviction
that global peace is an idea whose time has come;
Now, Therefore, I, Christopher J. Bavasi, Mayor of the
City of Flagstaff, do hereby proclaim Monday, May 29, 1995, as
Global Peace Walk Day
in Flagstaff.
Dated this 26th day of May, 1995
