Walk and Fast for Humanity / Solidarity Bazaar and State of Nonviolence

posted in: Events, Home, News

Two Days of Solidarity, November 29 & 30, 2024. Sponsored by Cleveland Nonviolence Network and Cleveland Peace Action. We invite your participation. Please share.

Day 1: The Walk & Fast for Humanity will convene at the Fountain of Eternal Life at 120 Public Square on “Black Friday,” November 29, 2024, Noon – 2pm. This is to name four world famines and food insecurity in Cleveland, Ohio. We emphasize the huge Pentagon budget and campaigns that foment poverty and famine in our government’s proxy war zones.  Famine in Gaza, Haiti, Sudan, and Yemen are our focus. We ask that participants everywhere fast from food, fuel and consumerism on “Black Friday.” Readings and songs will be offered. From :Public Square we will walk to a public building to address our legislators. We invite you to join us and, if you wish, assist with a reading or song. Please reply to this email if you’d like to be part of the program – call Don Bryant at 216.255.1576
