Welcome Peace Ship, the Golden Rule, in Poulsbo
June 28, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Tues June 28, 7-9 pm, at Kitsap Regional Library, Poulsbo Branch, 700 NE Lincoln Rd, Poulsbo; Welcome the Golden Rule! In 1958 a crew of Quaker peace activists attempted to sail the Golden Rule to the Marshall Islands to interfere with US nuclear bomb testing. This bold nonviolent direct action inspired a worldwide movement leading to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. After five years of restoration by Veterans For Peace and many friends, the Golden Rule is once again sailing for a nuclear-free world and a peaceful, sustainable future. Come hear the story of the Golden Rule, how she was rescued from a watery grave in in Northern California and lovingly restored, her voyage to San Diego in 2015 and her voyage around the Pacific Northwest this year.
