More About Against the Wind Festival
This is a non-profit group organized to help support the Golden Rule Project, whose objectives are to raise awareness of the dangers of nuclear armaments and nuclear war.
View the full Festival Schedule here!
Central to this effort is the production of the play, “Which Way the Wind,” (download script) an anti-nuclear arms docudrama. While the play focuses on the real danger of nuclear holocaust it articulates principles that can be applied to the broader social and political issues of race, justice, equality and the ‘golden rule.’ We will work with individuals and groups to explore, educate, engage, and discuss these larger issues with a series of lectures, discussions, seminars, workshops, and other related activities.

Come learn about The Golden Rule, the 30 ft wooden ketch that tried to sail into the nuclear test zone in the Pacific to prevent atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in 1958. The Coast Guard intervened and arrested the crew, but their courage ignited a
movement that led to the nuclear test ban treaty. Now fully restored by Veterans for Peace, The Golden Rule is making waves again as it sails to Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa, Korea, and Japan with its message of a world free of nuclear weapons.

FREE! Please buy food & drink at the Pub. All ages welcome!
