The Golden Rule peace boat, now a Project of Veterans for Peace, was sailed in 1958 by four Quaker activists who wanted to interfere with US nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands. Arrest of the crew brought about a huge outcry, leading to the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963.
The Golden Rule sank in far northern California in 2010 and for 5 years was lovingly restored by Veterans for Peace. Since then, they have sailed from Mexico to Canada, all around the Hawaiian Islands, and around the entire eastern half of the US.
You’ll hear about the history of the Golden Rule, the increasing danger of nuclear war, and what you can do to prevent nuclear annihilation!
Helen Jaccard is co-manager of the Golden Rule Project, a crew member since 2015, and an anti-nuclear activist since 2006. She writes about the environmental cost of war and militarism.
Ms Kim A-Hyun (Shik-Cho) sailed aboard Jonah’s Whale, a Korean sailboat project inspired by the Golden Rule. They sailed for 107 days from Korea to Jeju Island, Okinawa and Taiwan.
Michelle KanoeLehua Marsonette sailed aboard the Golden Rule from Hawai`i to California, having learned about the boat from her uncle, Captain Kiko Johnston-Kitazawa, in 2019. She is now co-manager of the Golden Rule Project.
