Since early March Bus #75 has been moving around the Fairbanks area with a message from the World Beyond War Billboard Project prominently displayed. It’s been seen by several people so we know it’s out there. Feel free to leave comments on this post to share your feedback, any thoughts you have about the message and any conversations that arise.
We’re so grateful to have the use of this bus and to have community participation. And there is still opportunity to sponsor additional months. The cost to APC per month is $120. Donations can be made via PayPal on the right-hand panel of this website, or via check to:
Borough Bus #75 with APC-sponsored message from World Beyond War Billboard Project
If this is a medium that APC supporters feel good about, there is also the opportunity to eventually run other messages on Borough buses. See https://worldbeyondwar.org/billboardsproject/ to see other message designs available.

Papal Bulls of the 15th and 16th Centuries gave “Christian” nations the right to discover and dominate lands occupied by non-Christian peoples. Through an 1823 Supreme Court decision by Justice John Marshall these bulls still form the foundation of laws concerning indigenous peoples in the United States today. This movie explains how this happened and its implications today. Sponsored by the Alaska Peace Center, the University Community Presbyterian Church, and Native Movement. See the flyer.

In 1960 Suzanne Rich Osborn joined a group walking from San Francisco to Moscow organized by the Committee for Nonviolent Action. The purpose of the walk was to promote a world without war, pursuing the idea that every country disarm unilaterally and not wait for a joint agreement. “We were talking about making a unilateral peace and for each government to stop militarism.” The small group of people walked across the United States to New York, caught a flight to London, wound up on a boat to Belgium, and walked from there to Moscow (with a free bus ride from East Germany to Poland since the East German Government seemed embarrassed by them). They were treated quite well in Russia. They passed out thousands and thousands of leaflets along their travels, and picketed at military bases they passed by. Also see the article in the News-Miner.
Potluck at 6:00, Program and discussion begins at 7:00. Sponsored by the Alaska Peace Center and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fairbanks, 4448 Pikes Landing Road, across from the Princess Hotel.
