SUMMARY:PEACE FLEET AT SEAFAIR\, Seattle
DESCRIPTION:PEACE FLEET AT SEAFAIR \nTues July 30\, on the water and on land\, Seattle \n\nNoon\, Peace Fleet in Elliott Bay\, near Pier 66.\n1 pm Demonstration on land at Pier 62 and/or on the rooftop of the Bell Street Pier Cruise Terminal at Pier 66\n\nFor the twenty-third year\, peace activists will address the public display of warships and warplanes in our community.  The Golden Rule will be open to the public in Bell Harbor Marina from July 29-31. \nLocal activists will stage a water-based nonviolent protest against the glorification of weapons of war at the Seattle Seafair festival. Peace activists will meet the U.S. Navy fleet in Elliott Bay. The entire Seafair Fleet Week\, featuring militarism and weapons of war\, is sponsored by the Boeing Company\, the second largest military contractor in the U.S. \nThis year the Peace Fleet will be joined by the Golden Rule peace boat. In 1958 activists sailed this little boat towards the Marshall Islands to stop nuclear weapons testing. Arrest of the crew in Honolulu sparked worldwide outrage\, which helped President Kennedy decide to sign the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963! The 1958 voyage inspired the founding of Greenpeace and many peace ships that followed. \nOther peace activists will meet on the Seattle waterfront\, at Pier 62 for a nonviolent demonstration against weapons of war and against environmental harm caused by the U.S. military during Seafair. \nInfo https://vfpgoldenruleproject.org/peace-fleet-downtown-seattle-7-30-24/ and info@gzcenter.com and https://www.gzcenter.org/event/2024-peace-fleet \nSee also Seafair Climate Action Campaign https://www.seaclimateaction.info/
