----------------------------------
The Inland Empire Do Peace and Nonviolence Alliance's (IEDOPNA.blogspot.org) Annual Walk for a Department of Peace building began with a group of nine women: students, mothers, and a grandmother who walked a course in front of Ontario Mills with posters promoting the establishment of a U.S. Department of Peace. They were greeted with honks of support and raised money for the national campaign.
Since then, the group has grown and has twice hosted the walk on Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino, and last year, in Downtown Riverside.
The 5th Annual Walk for a Department of Peacebuilding will once again be held starting at the Riverside Library in Downtown. The walk course includes a visit to the Martin Luther King, Jr. statue in front of Riverside City Hall and the reflection area in front of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Mission Ave.
The Walk will conclude with a luncheon served by the Social Justice Committee of the Riverside Unitarian Church next to the library.
