DON'T JUST TAKE HISTORY. *MAKE* HISTORY. Teach nuclear weapons a lesson. With the Great Peace March. On March 1, 1986, five thousand people will leave schools, homes, jobs and families to walk from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. They will walk 15 miles a day [8 thru the tough parts]. For 255 days. For 3235 miles. First they'll cross the Mojave Desert to Las Vegas. Then through Utah to Colorado. Over the 12,000-ft. Loveland Pass. They'll walk across Nebraska plains and Iowa cornfields to Chicago. Through our industrial heartland. Across New Jersey to Manhattan. Then Philadelphia. And finally, Washington -- where hundreds of thousands will join them. There's never been a march like this [non-military]. Each marcher will take 10,098,000 steps. Through 15 states and 37 cities. There'll be six mobile cafeterias to serve 3,825,000 meals. Daily showers and laundry for 5000. Plus 75 vehicles to carry it all. Can it be done? It's already being organized. PRO-Peace is a highly-skilled citizens movement dedicated to abolishing nuclear weapons. Its large staff of professionals in media, business, organizing and finance are making it happen. If you're eighteen or accompanied by a parent, in good physical condition and ready to give nearly a year of your life, then step forward. And help turn hope into history.
