Organize for Justice in the Pioneer Valley Sunday 2/23/2014 Come out as we march through Springfield and join us for a potluck dinner and community discussion with local organizers "... For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." - President John F. Kennedy Beginning February 21, the Monks and Nun of the New England Peace Pagoda will lead their annual "Walk for a New Spring", from Leverett, Massachusetts to Washington, DC. The walk is 47 days long and will end on April 8th. It is the 13th annual Walk for a New Spring, which began in 2002 in response to the tragedy on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center in New York City.
