Ithaca welcomes the walkers for a nuclear free future. Ithaca Unitarian Church, March 30, 2010.
The peace walkers are passing through the Six Nation Native American Territories and NY State, walking to the UN by May 2 for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Conference of 190 Countries. They are coming to call attention to the intertwined problems of nuclear weapons and nuclear power. This two-month sojourn is the brainchild of Jun Yasuda, a remarkable Buddhist nun of the Nipponzan Myohoji order. The Japanese-born peace pilgrim has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and spends many months each year on foot. She is also responsible for a Peace Pagoda in Grafton, northeast of Troy.
The welcoming starts with Buddhist chants with hoop drums with Jun Yasuda and Gyotethu Morishita (from Japan). Clare Grady introduces speakers Paul Gagnon, Larry Bring Good, Gyotethu Morishita, and Frida Berrigan, followed by Q&A.
