Barefoot Peace Walk in London
If you’re in London on September 21st, listen up: International Refugee Trust organized the Barefoot Peace Walk for the first time in 2009 to raise awareness about crimes being committed by the Lord’s Resistance Army. The LRA is still active and spreading terror in Central African Republic, DR Congo and southern Sudan… therefore they’re doing it again.
From IRT: Come and walk barefoot* through Central London
When? Meet at 6:00 pm to start walking at 6:30 pm, 21 September 2010 (UN International Day of Peace)
Where? Next to St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square
How long? 45 minute walk
And then? From 7:30 pm onwards after-event in the Africa Centre, 38 King Street, Covent Garden with guest speakers including Anneke van Woudenberg from Human Rights Watch, and Ugandan music.
It is not necessary to sign up or RSVP to the Barefoot Peace Walk, but if you happen to be of Facebook you can sign up there.
I am wondering if you would be interested in organizing more of these. I live in South Carolina and would gladly talk to the activities coordinator in my city. It would be really cool to do this all over America…on one day, or several different days.
