On February 11, 2008, Longest Walk 2 participants will embark on a
five- month journey across America to Washington, D.C. arriving on
July 11, 2008. In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the
Longest Walk of 1978 that resulted in historic changes for Native
America, hundreds of communities are participating in the Longest
Walk of 2008 to raise awareness about issues impacting our
environment, to protect Sacred Sites and to clean up Mother Earth.

In 1978 many labor unions across the country came out in support of
the walk. We would like to re-create that strong display of
solidarity by encouraging all unions, labor councils, constituency
groups and members to support the walk.
