Marching for peace and nonviolence in Palestine

BETHLEHEM -- A million people around the world are marching for peace. In the past few days alone, they walked through the streets of Sarajevo in Bosnia-Herzegovina; Zagreb, Croatia; and Gendema, on the Sierra Leone-Liberia border. At the same time, halfway around the world, others marched in Mexico City.

Next on the agenda? Berlin, Paris, Freetown and Santiago.

The first ever World March for Peace and Nonviolence -- a grassroots initiative aimed at bringing people throughout the globe together in support of peace and an end to physical, economic, racial, religious, cultural, sexual and psychological violence -- began its journey in New Zealand on Oct. 2, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
