Event: Walk for Peace & Justice, Friends for a NonViolent World, Saturday, September 30

Challenged by our experiences of violence across the Twin Cities in recent years, Friends for a NonViolent World (FNVW), in collaboration with Twin Cities Nonviolent (TCNV) and many other peace and justice groups are organizing a Walk for Peace and Justice on September 30, 2023. We are calling on all Minnesotans to come out and participate in this great event. This Walkathon is a fundraiser for FNVW’s peace programs in our communities.

This event takes place on Day 10 of Twin Cities Nonviolent annual 12 Days Free from Violence.  Brackett Park in Minneapolis will be the kick-off location. We will walk to the Lake Street/Marshall Avenue Bridge for a Hands Across the Mississippi Ceremony followed by food, music and speakers at the Danish American Center. Together we will uplift the vision of a world beyond violence and a culture rooted in nonviolence. 

We invite all individuals, groups and organizations in Minnesota that promote nonviolence, peaceful conflict resolution and equitable justice to partner with us. Contact us at walk4peace@fnvw.org if you’d like more information or are interested in helping us plan the event.
