The Golden Rule Connects the Dots in San Francisco Bay Voyage
🍃 Last Summer, the Golden Rule Project held events in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Mateo, and San Carlos.
🍃 We sailed with Code Pink, Task Force on the Americas, Sonoma and San Francisco VFP chapters, the Center for Biological Diversity, the People’s Arms Embargo, the “Comfort Women” Justice Coalition, and the ANSWER Coalition.
🍃 Most importantly, we enjoyed old friends and made new ones – and forged critical connections in the struggle for peace and justice!
🍃 In late August, we returned to Humboldt Bay.
🍃 After that, it was a lot of fun going to the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, although without the Golden Rule this year.

2026 Summer Voyage to Southern California
We are in the midst of planning port stops for our 2026 summer voyage, our forth one to Southern California. During past voyages south, we stopped in Monterey, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Newport Beach and San Diego, as well as Ensenada, Mexico. We will publish a tentative 2026 schedule in February. We are excited about seeing all of our old friends, and making new ones!

Prevent an Escalation of the Nuclear Arms Race!
Extend the New START Treaty limits and re-start inspections!
The New START Treaty is the only remaining Arms Control Treaty between the U.S. and Russia. It expires February 5, 2026! This Treaty caps the number of deployed nuclear weapons at 1,500 each for Russia and the U.S. as well as provides for inspections of all nuclear weapons sites. The VFP Nuclear Abolition Working Group and the Golden Rule Project are working with others around the world in calling on President Trump to agree to the extension of terms proposed by President Putin.
Friends Committee on National Legislation has a “Call Congress: Stop a New Nuclear Arms Race“. We encourage you to call your Representatives to cosponsor H.Res.100 and S.Res.61. These resolutions call for urgent negotiations to replace the New START treaty, continued compliance with established limits, and to separately engage in nuclear diplomacy with China.
A coalition of nuclear abolition groups will soon be meeting to discuss further education and activation plans – if you would like to join the effort, please contact Helen Jaccard at helen.jaccard@gmail.com to receive updates.
Resolutions in Support of Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
Cities, counties and states are adopting resolutions to support the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). For example, the California Legislature approved this resolution: California TPNW Resolution. Please encourage your city, county and state to do the same!
WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR OUR MANY SUPPORTERS!
Thank you all of the people who have contributed their love, time and money to the unique mission of the historic Golden Rule anti-nuclear sailboat. Because of you we have made many friends and educated tens of thousands of people about the continuing dangers of nuclear war, and we have helped build support for the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
This would be a great time for an infusion of cash and a vote of confidence for our continuing mission. Thank you so much for being part of the Golden Rule family!
