2024 Vancouver Peace & Justice Fair Special Guest: The Original Peace Boat – The Golden Rule
The Veterans for Peace Golden Rule, the original peace ship, will be docked in Vancouver on Friday 9/13 to Sunday 9/15 and the project staff will attend our fair on Saturday. See the Golden Rule project staff at the Washington Against Nuclear Weapons booth at the Fair at Esther Short Park 9 AM to 3 PM on Saturday. The historic sailboat aims to advance Veterans for Peace’s work in opposition to nuclear weapons and war.
In 1958 the Golden Rule, sailed to stop U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons testing. They were stopped by the U.S. Coast Guard, but inspired other peace ships, including the founding of Greenpeace. The Golden Rule is now a project of Veterans for Peace. It sails throughout the world to continue its mission of opposition to nuclear weapons and war.
