From Penobscot Nation at Indian Island to Kittery, Maine. October 11-26, 2016
The 5th Maine Peace Walk took place on October 11 – 26, 2016, with an organizing team made up of individuals who are dedicated to creating a more peaceful, sustainable and just world. We came together out of our deep concern about the many different wars being waged on Mother Earth, ranging from over-fishing, deforestation, and human-caused extinctions, to climate disruption and endless war.
Close to home we support the Penobscot Nation’s struggle for Justice for the River, opposition to the East/West Corridor, and conversion of war production to alternative energy at Maine shipyards. We know from past experience of walking through rural and urban Maine that many people will be reached with our messages.
