CAN supported a series of walks in Vermont and western Massachusetts to educate people to the connection between nuclear weapons and nuclear power. The first in August '06- Walk For A Nuclear Free Future - started with a ceremony on Hiroshima day in Rutland, VT and ended in Burlington, VT on Nagasaki day. A second and third tour occured in March '07 and August 07. Walkers were housed in the community and each evening there was a pot luck dinner and a discussion. The discussions focused on how we can replace Vermont Yankee and how each of us can help close it.
