The World March for Peace and Nonviolence is inspiring various initiatives and activities. One will be the symbolic march of an international and intercultural team whose journey will pass through six continents. It will start on October 2, 2009 — the International Day of Nonviolence — in Wellington, New Zealand, and will culminate on January 2, 2010 at the foot of Mount Aconcagua in Punta de Vacas, Argentina. During this time, in hundreds of cities around the world, there will be marches, festivals, forums, conferences, and other events to create consciousness of the urgent need for Peace and Nonviolence. The development of these initiatives is open to any person, organization, school, collective, group, political party, business, etc., that shares the same aspirations and endorses the March’s proposals. The World March is a call to all people to unite and take responsibility for changing the world, to overcome personal violence, and to work together for peace in their immediate environments and as far as their influence may reach.

This picture of me and Kevin Danaher was snapped at the West Coast Green expo this weekend in Fort Mason. Kevin, along with his extraordinary wife Medea Benjamin, are the founders of Global Exchange and the Green Festival. He is also an anti-globalization activist and the author of several books including, 10 Reasons to Abolish the IMF & World Bank. Add to the list, an inspiring speaker and unafraid of wearing purple and you can see why we’re such big fans. -sigh
