Peace Heroes Walk - Sun Mar 19
Posted by Jenny Parker on Jan 16, 2017
The Peace Heroes Walk Around the World is a joint initiative between the 21st Century Peace Literacy Foundation and the Dayton, Ohio Peace Museum. For the first time ever, the walk is being held here in San Diego and they're reaching out to us to be a part of it! In addition, they've changed the nature of the walk from a fundraiser to a FREE event! They are promoting Rotary's work in peace and Rotarian Action Group for Peace, and we are hoping for a big Rotary turnout at the event. For more information contact Jenny at 619-985-2999, or check out the event flier.
Bring all your friends and wear your Rotary t-shirt. This is a great way to promote Rotary and it's goal to foster peace locally and globally, and we hope you can participate!

Sunday, March 19th from 12:30pm to 3pm at Magee Park Gazebo in Carlsbad.

Peace Heroes Walk is a joint initiative between the 21st Century Peace Literacy Foundation and San Diego Rotarians. Peace heroes are people from all walks of life who have taken risks to embody nonviolent ideals (justice, reconciliation, interconnection and rejection of vengeance) and have succeeded in making the world a less violent and more just place. We will honor heroes like Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Malala, Dalai Lama, Mandela, Pope Francis, Rosa Parks, John Lennon and Mohamed Ali. While Peace Heroes Walks have been held in other cities, this will be the first time for San Diego and we want you to be a part of it. This is a great way to promote Rotary and it's goal to foster peace locally and globally.
The walk’s mission is threefold:
- to promote peace literacy through peace hero stories
- to inspire a new generation of peace leaders, and
- to plan for next year’s San Diego Peacebuilders Walk that will support local organizations working toward peace in the world
Wear your favorite peace themed T-shirt. We invite you to wear shirts that are non-partisan and non-polarizing. There will be live entertainment and a 2 mile walk starting from the Gazebo. There is no charge to participate. Donations are welcome to provide seed money for the 2018 Peace Heroes Walk on September 16.
If you have any questions please reach out to our walk organizers at: peaceherowalksd@gmail.com. We sincerely appreciate your interest in promoting peace literacy and hope to have you join us on our mission to create a more peaceful world and give back to local organizations who make a lasting difference.
