Many of the marchers, how ever, are determined to continue, and under the new name, The Great Peace March for Nuclear Disarmament, hope to complete the 3,235 mile march as a highly visible expression of their concerns for the world. One of those is Lewis Franco of Atlanta, son of Dr. Richard and Phyllis Franco. The following open letter expresses his views. —Editor. Dear Friend, I am sitting in a booth in a Coco’s restaurant, enjoying the lux ury of someone serving me coftee. Living out of a tent for the past month has made me realize how many things 1 usually take for granted. The Great Peace March for Nuclear Disarmament is camped less than a mile from here in Bar- stow, Calif. As attached as I am to the March, it’s great to get away for an evening, to reflect on what is happening, and to be able to write a letter with the benefit of that incredible phenomenon, electri city. As you may have heard. Pro- Peace, our founding organization, has collapsed financially. Their fi nancial problems were the reason for us staying camped in the desert outside Barstow for almost a week. When we learned of the collapse on Saturday, we began to organize our own governmental structure. GREAT PEACE MARCH March - December 1986 N? :1 THE GREAT PEACE MARCH, CtCjT'^VtWU' and take responsibility for the march. As marchers, we have re mained unified (about 500 of us) in our desire to continue our cross country march for global nuclear disarmament. W'e are in a stage of regrouping, finding out what we need to con tinue safely. and mobilizing people who want to help us. Presently, we are educating and empowering the community we are in. and we plan to do this throughout our march. The town of Barstow has responded by donating food and money, pro viding a campsite, and reaching out continually to help us spread our message. It is my belief that people want to live in a world that is safe for them and their children. It is only when they lose hope that they are content to lease everything up to their leaders. If our walk can do anything to improve and streng then this hope, then we will have been successful. Lewis Franco l have developed great love for this group of marchers. Despite the many differences that we hate, there is a common thread of good ness and optimism in each of us. This experience has helped me to see this “goodness” actually in eve- 66 66 LOVE” AND UNDERSTANDING”..

It is this mysterious force that we attempt to describe when we use the term “G-d.” What l am asking is that you look inside your self to decide the way you would like to live, and the sort of world you would like to live in. At the time of the Holocaust in Germany, G-d did not let man down. Rather man let G-d down by not listening to Him. Every per son who ignored what his true sell was saying, and did not speak out against the Nazis, let G-d down, and, ultimately, let himself down. My personal self is telling me that the threat of nuclear weapons held over humanity is inhumane and unacceptable. My conscience will not let me sit by and allow another Holocaust to happen. I he Great Peace March is the vehicle through which l choose to express my conscience at this time. It you feel that you would like to express your conscience by supporting the March, then I urge you to do so.
