 Nearly four months ago, recent Amador High School
grad Michael Israel began a coast to coast trek with a college student he
barely knew. Their cause; a nonviolent resistance to war efforts, the end of
genocide in Darfur, the end of nuclear weapon holding and proliferation and
increased environmental sustainability. In total the pair walked 3,000 miles.
On Sept. 10, they reached Washington, D.C.. Ashley Casale, a sophomore at
Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., organized the March for Peace. A
handful of anti-war activists joined her for parts of the journey. Michael
Israel accompanied Casale the entire way. The route took them from their
starting point in San Francisco eastward across the Rocky Mountains, through the
Midwest and south of the Great Lakes.(The University of Delaware Review
