Making Waves: Rebirth of the Golden Rule
(anti-nuclear peace boat)
Friday, January 25, 2019
7:30 PM – 9 PM
526 Broadway St, Chico
Join us for a film screening, discussion, and action to Abolish Nuclear Weapons!
Golden Rule S/V Crew member and Golden Rule Project Ambassador, Zoe Byrd, will show the 25-minute documentary, “Making Waves: Rebirth of the Golden Rule” about four Quaker peace activists, led by Navy veteran Albert Bigelow, who in 1958 set sail to the Marshall Islands influencing public demand that ended underwater, atmospheric, and outer space nuclear bomb tests in 1963. The historic peace boat later sank, in 2010, and was rebuilt in Humboldt Bay, California. The Golden Rule, a Project of Veterans For Peace, is once again “Sailing for a Nuclear-Free World and a Peaceful, Sustainable Future”.
A discussion will follow the film. Zoe will also present the ICAN Cities Appeal, where all over the world, cities are taking the lead and calling on their governments to join the Nuclear Ban Treaty.
This educational, fundraising event is a call to action and is free to the public.
Donations to the Golden Rule Project 2019 sailing season are appreciated.
