The March

This is the first World March to circle the earth calling for the end of war and nuclear arms, and the elimination of violence of all kinds.
The intention of the March is to:
Achieve the eradication of nuclear weapons; the progressive and proportional reduction of non-nuclear arms; the signing of non-aggression treaties among nations; and the renunciation by governments of war as a way to resolve conflicts.
Recognize and celebrate the best qualities of all the Earth’s diverse cultures and peoples.
Merge the wills of people everywhere to end the scourge of war.
Generate a worldwide social conscience that condemns all forms of violence (physical, psychological, racial, religious, economic, sexual), which is currently so widespread and accepted by societies everywhere.
A global conscience that universally condemns violence
