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.

"In times of war, we create "the enemy" as a way of psychological numbing. We can't drop bombs on human beings; but we can drop bombs on the "enemy". We have to numb ourselves to the fact that we are killing real human beings who hurt and who want to live and love, just as we do. Psychological numbing creates apathy. It's not that we don't care. It's that we can't face the pain of caring." ~Dr. Susan Jeffers

Thanks for posting this historic event. What's amazing is to see everyone in so many different places expressing the same yearning for peace and nonviolence, in so many diverse ways. It feels like the emerging of new peace movement.
