We are walking because the United States does not need an empire that dominates the globe merely to satisfy the greed and lust for power of the very few.
We are walking because we do not need an economy based on manufacturing missiles, tanks, cancer-causing depleted uranium weapons, cluster bombs that continue to kill children and others for generations, and nuclear weapons, which threaten all life on earth.
We are walking to save the oceans and the whales, dolphins and sea creatures that we are intimately connected with.
