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 contributed to this article)
