Featuring Helen Jaccard, Golden Rule Project Manager and Crew Member

In 1958, Quaker activists sailed the Golden Rule peace boat towards the Marshall Islands to interfere with atmospheric nuclear weapon testing. They were stopped and arrested in Honolulu, which spurred worldwide outrage that ultimately resulted in the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963.

Now, 61 years later, Veterans For Peace (VFP) is sailing Golden Rule to Japan to commemorate the 75^th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Once again, Golden Rule is in Honolulu, where you can visit her at Ala Wai small boat harbor, the very place she was when the crew was jailed. “The little sailboat with a big mission” — to stop the possibility of nuclear war — is on Oahu through November 28, 2019.

Helen Jaccard is the Golden Rule Project Manager and a crew member on the Golden Rule.  Helen will present on the history of the Golden Rule and the current mission of the Golden Rule Project to advance VFP’s opposition to nuclear weapons and war.

Veterans For Peace (VFP) is an international organization made up of military veterans, military family members, and allies. VFP is dedicated to building a culture of peace, exposing the true costs of war, and healing the wounds of war. VFP is made up of over 140 chapters across the US and abroad.
