Feb. 2, 2022, Oceanside, CA
Two members of Veterans For Peace, Linus Pauling chapter 132, mid-Valley, Oregon, Leah & Bart Bolger, were on hand as the sailing vessel Golden Rule, the anti-nuclear war activism and education vessel, made a port call in Oceanside, California. Onboard was a third member of our chapter, Ren Jacob of Lincoln City, Oregon, who was crewing on the boat’s voyage from northern California to the Mexican Baja Peninsula.
Also on hand were former VFP national president Gerry Condon, his partner and Golden Rule project manager, Helen Jaccard, and several members of the San Diego VFP chapter.
The boat later continued on to San Diego, just a day-cruise away, to host more educational events. They will later be traveling to Ensenada, Mexico to meet up with members of VFP’s deported veterans chapter from Tijuana.
Here’s a story from the San Diego Union-Tribune (via Stars & Stripes) about the current voyage of the Golden Rule.
More information on the boat’s mission and schedule can be found at their website and Facebook page.
Here are a few photos taken during the Oceanside visit.
