To join us on Sunday, November 11th, 2012 for the day’s events starting from 1:45pm from the Islamic Center of Tucson at 901 E. First Street (see schedule).

Past walks have received recognition and proclamations from the Governor’s office, the Pima County Board of Supervisors, the Tucson Mayor and Council and Human Relations Commission.

Although this peace walk is entitled “Muslim-Jewish” it is open to all Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, etc. as well. I’ve been on it in the past, and it is an uplifting, community experience.
