Canadian and Australian Green Party leaders back the World March
23.5.2009 - www.theworldmarch.org
In an interesting convergence of interests, Greens around the world express support for the World March for Peace and Nonviolence.
----
News has reached the World March of the latest endorsement by Elizabeth May, leader of the Canadian Green Party.
May informed World March organisers in Canada that: "Greens embrace the commitment to a culture of peace. Canada must return to our historic strengths as a peace-maker and reject the arms merchants and the business of making money making war. For the world to be peaceful, governments must invest in peace."
May's endorsement is the latest in a string of important endorsements in the field of ecology and the environment.
Bob Brown, leader of the Australian Greens, on the 6th of May sent this message to organisers in Australia: "I endorse the World March for Peace and Non-Violence. We could begin by diverting some of the billions of dollars being spent globally on armaments annually to the billion people living in poverty. Congratulations to everyone who takes part".
Besides these individual endorsements, we have received the endorsement of the entire Green Party in Sweden and the Green Party in Switzerland along with Greenpeace from Hungary, New Zealand and the Czech Republic, to name a few.
Finally, notable philanthropist and environmentalist Douglas Tompkins, in his endorsement said: "The great teachers, from Lao Tsu, the Buddha, Confucius , Gandhi, to Martin Luther King taught us that peace and nonviolence was the trait we must develop if we want to achieve happiness, security and realize our full potential as good human beings. Supporting the World March for Peace will be taking many steps toward creating a consciousness of those noble ends and help make the world a magnificent place for humans and all of nature."
