On Feb. 11th, Longest Walk participants will embark on a 5 month walking journey from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. arriving on July 11th in Washington D.C.
It is an extraordinary grassroots effort on a national level to bring attention to the environmental disharmony of Mother Earth, sacred site issues, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original longest walk.
The Longest Walk south route (See Southern Itinerary[ flashLongWalkintro.html ]) is being led by AIM co-founder Dennis J. Banks. The Southern route is through 11 states, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia.
The Northern route (See Northern itinerary) is through 12 states, including California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
