We will be organizing the local activities of a global effort to promote peace and demand an end to war and all forms of violence.
Starting in New Zealand on October 2, 2009, Gandhi’s birthday and the United Nations' "International Day of Nonviolence," the March will travel through six continents over a period of 90 days, ending on January 2, 2010 in the heights of the Andes Mountains. On its path it will be joined by millions of people who will publicly appeal for peace and the necessary to awaken a new social consciousness that will lead us towards a worldwide culture of nonviolence.
Many international figures and organizations have already endorsed the March, including; Desmond Tutu, Noam Chomsky, Dennis Kucinich, Arun Gandhi, Zubin Mehta, Juanes, Amnesty International Mexico, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Jose Saramago, Anna Belén, Daniel Berrigan, and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

The World March will be passing through California on December 2nd and 3rd, 2009.

“ This cause is so important at a primordial level. We all need peace not only within but all around us. ”
“ We talk about how to promote peace, and we have a concrete thing to offer, and there are as many ways to accomplish the goal as the group can think of. ”
