Longest Walk
- Hello my name is Julien Jacobs. I am Yupik and Inupiaq, that is I am mixed with two tribes in Alaska summed up As Inuit or aka Eskimo. I am part of an Advanced Party for the LongestWalk2.org an organization of Indigenous Peoples and Global Participants that have been walking from Alcatraz and have made it your way for a visit and Straight on into Washington D.C. There are 80 of us and have been walking from February 11th until July 11th when we make our debut onto the steps of Congress as well as Presidential Candidates where they will hear our Journey across America Step by Step. We wanted to particularily stop into your area for a temporary visit and rest as well as prepare for the next day. We wanted to let you know about our journey and would like to share our stories as well as listen to your stories that you would like to share on the steps of the Federal Government. Our issues that we are particularily focusing on are; Health, Environment, Sovereignity, Justice and Peace. Our main goal is to hear your concerns that we can incorporate into our Manifest so we would not like to miss out on your coummunity and have a chance to learn from each other. One thing that we do ask is for is that we can learn more specifically for logistical purpose is of course all the smaller things that matter such as Laundry Facilities, Internet Hotspots or Finding a way to Get Fresh Fruits and Vegtables, possibly a hot shower. We have been having difficulty in just the trivial requirements but anticipate and hope for some usage throughout your city. We have been underway for some time now and would like to catch up on those small things. We typically walk 17-24 miles a day and become very tired but enjoy the spirit of meeting with community members that share the same volunteerism and hope and dreams that make this country great. We are trying to make a better world for our children and for new days to come. I just wanted to share this information with you all and hope to see that you are as excited as we are to come to your area and Greet each other with the respect and dignity that can consume a lifetime full of change as we share what we learn on the footsteps of the Federal Government. I hope to hear from you and hope that we can remain in contact especially for events throughout the city and community that we would like to share as well as learn. Quyana Caknek! . . . Thank you very much Julien Jacobs. Email: lw2southernroute@gmail.com |
