GuluWalk for Peace in Northern Uganda
Saturday, October 21st

12-3pm

Start/finish in John Marshall Park in Washington

Every night, thousands of children walk from their homes in displacement camps to town centers to avoid abduction by the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army. For one day, we are walking with them. Join tens of thousands of people in 80 cities around the world in gaining attention to the crisis in northern Uganda and support for ongoing peace negotiations.

The Washington, DC walk begins at 12pm at John Marshall Park, at 4th and Pennsylvania Ave. NW. Walkers will follow a five mile route that encircles the White House, the State Department, and the Capitol. The DC GuluWalk will feature words from numerous prominent speakers, and participants will make calls during the walk to policymakers to urge U.S. government support for ongoing negotiations that could end the twenty year war. U.S. support for the talks is urgently needed to ensure that they succeed!

Walkers are also encouraged to fundraise for child-focused programs in northern Uganda; donations can be made at the GuluWalk website or in person at the walk itself.
