Dress in your best hippie clothes from 1975 (if you want)\, bring old photos or memorabilia to display – and bring your stories.

Paul can tell you his stories\, but we want to hear from you too. \nThis is a fundraiser for the PEC. Suggested donation of $20. \nIf you can’t attend but would like to support the PEC\, you can donate here!

SUMMARY:Golden Rule Crew visits Lansing
DESCRIPTION:Peace Boat sails again for a Nuclear Free World!\nAugust 15th at 6:30pm\nRed Cedar Friends Meeting\n1400 Turner St\, Lansing \nCome meet the crew of Golden Rule sailing the original peace boat around the country to bring attention to the need to eliminate nuclear weapons. While the boat is in Detroit\, the crew will visit Lansing. \nCome learn the history and how we can work to eliminate nuclear weapons! \n  \n\nIn 1958\, anti-nuclear weapons activists were arrested to stop the Golden Rule from sailing to obstruct atmospheric U.S. nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Resulting protests led to the passage of the 1963 Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty\, halting atmospheric testing. \nThe Golden Rule and her crew inspired the later actions by the ships of Greenpeace and the Sea Shepherds. \n  \nLEARN MORE! \n
