The November 2024 "Brethren Voices" shared the story of the four Quaker activist who sailed the Golden Rule Sailing Boat in 1958 toward the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. It was an attempt to halt nuclear weapons testing. The U.S. Coast Guard intervened in Hawaii by boarding the 36-foot-boat and arresting the crew. They were jailed, causing an international outcry. The Golden Rule continues its mission of working for peace and is a project of Veterans For Peace, in opposition to nuclear weapons and war.
The crew of the Golden Rule Sailing Boat, 76-years-ago, attempted to make a statement against nuclear testing. This action assisted the public to greater awareness of the dangers of radiation, leading to worldwide demands to stop nuclear testing. In 1963, President Kennedy signed the Limited-Nuclear-Test-Ban-Treaty with Russia and the United Kingdom.
This program shares experiencces of three of the four crew members of the Golden Rule's West Coast Tour: Skipper Steve Bask, Project Manager Helen Jaccard and Co-Project Manager Michelle Marsonette.
Mike Stern, song writer, composer and singer, performs his song, "Phoenix and the Golden Rule." A music video shares a second creation of Mike Stern's music, "Journey of Hope," to video provided by producer, Ed Groff.
