Stop the Hate / Show the Love Walk for Peace 

The community is invited to attend Clinton's Stop the Hate / Show the Love Annual Walk for Peace on Thursday, September 15.

"Peace means many different things to many different people," said Mardell Mommsen, a member of the Clinton Peace Coalition. "This walk represents all of those things and is a way for us to collectively show our support for peace in our community and in the world. We hope community members will come out to enjoy this special event and walk with us in support of peace," said Mommsen.


The Peace Walk will begin at Clinton Community College at 5:00 p.m. with College President Dr. Karen Vickers on hand to welcome walkers. Posters created by Clinton fifth-grade students will be on display to illustrate their ideas of "what peace means to me". The walk will begin at 5:30 p.m.  The walk will conclude at Ashford University with a short program including a performance by the Ashford Choir. In the event of inclement weather, the walk will be held indoors at Clinton Community College.



The Peace Walk is held annually in our community on the Thursday closest to the September 21st global observance of the U. N. International Day of Peace. The Peace Walk is organized by the Clinton Peace Coalition. Members of which include community members and organizations including Clinton Community College, Sisters of St. Francis, YWCA-Clinton, Ashford University, Prince of Peace Schools, and the Unity Center of Clinton.
