More about the Veterans For Peace Golden Rule Project
In 1958 four Quakers sailed the Golden Rule toward the Marshall Islands in an attempt to interfere with nuclear bomb testing.
They resupplied in Honolulu and sailed out towards the Pacific testing zone, but the US government arrested the crew, causing a
firestorm of reaction against nuclear weapons tests. This helped stop nuclear bomb tests worldwide and inspired the start of
Greenpeace.
Golden Rule sank in Humboldt Bay in Northern California in 2010 and was brought up and restored by dozens of volunteers and
re-launched in 2015.
For four years the Golden Rule sailed the West Coast of the U.S. We give educational presentations, participate in wooden boat
shows, and lead “Peace Fleets“ to protest against militarization of our cities.
With tensions high between the U.S. and other nuclear nations, it is time for the Golden Rule to sail into the Pacific to support the
United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Education and action are needed now more than ever! Help us
spread a message of peace and resistance to nuclear war and energy! We need funds, but we also need authors, speakers, artists,
musicians, hosts and organizers. Call Helen Jaccard at 206-992-6364 or email vfpgoldenruleproject@gmail.Donate by check to: VFP Golden Rule Project com to get involved!
