Arrest of the crew and rising awareness of the dangers of radiation led to worldwide demands to stop nuclear testing.  This spurred the U.S.\, the U.S.S.R. and the U.K. to sign the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. In Vancouver\, B.C. a group of Friends used the example of the Golden Rule to sail the first Greenpeace boat to Alaska to stop underground nuclear weapons testing. \nIn 2010 the Golden Rule sank in Northern California. For five years\, dozens of Veterans For Peace\, Quakers\, and other volunteers restored her. From 2015 – 2022 the Golden Rule sailed  the West Coast between British Columbia and San Diego and to Hawai’i and back.  In 2022-23 the Great Loop voyage around the entire eastern half of the US educated tens of thousands of people about what they can do to stop the possibility of nuclear annihilation. \nInfo about this event Dan Gilman from VFP dhgilman@outlook.com or Louise Lansberry from UFM jllans@hotmail.com \nInfo about the Golden Rule and other events Helen Jaccard\, Project Manager\, 206-992-6364 or  vfpgoldenruleproject@gmail.com or https://vfpgoldenruleproject.org/
