NSP supports to 911 Unity March in DC on 9/10/06

Maryland NSP chapters will participate in the 911 Unity March in DC on Sunday, September 10, 2006.

It is walk to show "A Collective Response to Ending Religiously Motivated Violence" commemorating the 100 year anniversary of September 11th 1906 whene Ghandi's Satyagraha non-violent movement was founded in South Africa. It is a walk of reverance and respect for each person and for both our spiritual diversity and our oneness. We walk to support the high ideas of the Satyagraha non-violent movement, so we will carry no signs and do nothing to detract from the spirit of joint purpose and ideals.
