[SDCPJ] Peace Heroes Walk, March 19, Magee Park in Carlsbad



From: PRC SD Info <info@prcsd.org>

Subject: [prcsd] Peace Heroes Walk, March 19, Magee Park in Carlsbad


Join students, families, and Rotarians and the Peace Resource Center 

for the Peace Heroes Walk

Sunday, March 19th, 1pm to 3pm 

Magee Park Gazebo in Carlsbad.

Magee Park- 258 Beech Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92008

  Registration begins at 12:30 PM. Event is free and open to the public.

The Peace Resource Center will be walking with others in peace.  

Peace Heroes Walk is a joint initiative between the21st Century Peace Literacy Foundation and San Diego Rotarians. Peace heroes are people from all walks of life who have taken risks to embody nonviolent ideas (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.

peaceheroeswalk.org/san-diego-peace-heroes-walk/

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.

Registration will begin at 12:30 pm on Walk Day.

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.

May peace be upon us all,

The North County Peace Heroes Walk

For a Peaceful Planet Free of Militarized Drones and War,

The Shut Down Creech Team

"Sunset Cliffs Living" – New Magazine Devoted to Southern Point Loma to Be Published

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 10:34 AM PST

Guess what's coming to Sunset Cliffs? It's Sunset Cliffs Living- a magazine devoted to Sunset Cliffs! I just spent a delightful hour with Brenna Vega, a young, Point Loma High School Graduate, (2002) with a vision of bringing the community closer together. (Not only did she go to PLHS, she also went to Loma Portal and Correia.) After spending time in Los Angeles, New York, and China for the past 7 years, the draw of home brought her back to San Diego where she is fulfilling a dream of a magazine devoted to our community. She deems it a "social magazine for the residents of Sunset Cliffs, and is focusing on the areas of Sunset Cliffs east to Catalina; south to the college; and Sunset Cliffs to the end at Ladera."

The National Democratic Party Is Missing in Action

Posted: 06 Mar 2017 10:07 AM PST

DemocraticBy Jim Miller Many progressives were upset after the national Democratic party leadership recruited Obama's Labor Secretary Tom Perez to block Minnesota's Keith Ellison in the race for DNC chair and even more dismayed when Ellison lost very narrowly in the second round of voting. While Perez immediately made Ellison Deputy Chair and did what he could to foster unity, it was evident to numerous observers that putting in a guy who, despite a pretty solid record on policy, supported the TPP and clearly represented the interests of the Clinton wing of the party was a mistake.
