Help needed THIS EVENING (Friday, July 3) to help a peace walker (Jacob Holiday) push his cart & goats from Fairfax down Rt 29 into DC!
Hi everyone!
I’m posting this video on behalf of Jacob Holiday, who has been walking across the country to promote peace, end violence, and sing "Imagine" on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
He is currently less than 25 miles away, but he and his animals have been stopped, resting in Fairfax for a few days because one of his goats had an injury and needed to rest & be seen by a vet.
His plan is to start the final leg of his journey this evening, Friday, July 3rd, but because of the goat's injury, he now needs extra hands to help push or pull his cart down the road.
- Starting Point: Fairfax, VA (Intersection of Route 29 & Monument Drive)
- Route: Walking straight down Route 29 into DC
- Timing: Leaving this evening (Friday, July 3rd**)**
If anyone is willing to meet up and walk a section of Route 29 with him to take a turn pushing or pulling the cart, that is his biggest and most urgent need right now. A few extra people walking with him will also keep the whole group highly visible and safe on the road.
Jacob is so dedicated. If you want to read more about his incredible 3,000-mile trek, you can check out this news article tracking his journey across the country:
Thank you all so much!
