In the months of May and June of 2009, close to 2,000 kindred spirits from all walks of life stepped out in unity under the banners of truth, right conduct, love, nonviolence, and peace in several cities across the nation. They came together to celebrate human values and their practice in every aspect of our American way of life.  We commend them for their commitment and willingness to lead by example!

Walk for Values USA is different from other walks because it is not a fund-raiser, protest, rally, or demonstration. Instead, it seeks simply to raise awareness, and it is open to everyone free of charge.

Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence are the human values that shape the way we think, feel, and behave. When these values are not expressed, the result is anger, distrust, fear, suffering, disrespect, crime, corporate greed, environmental degradation, and violence. When they are expressed, the result is kindness, compassion, honesty, empathy, tolerance, generosity, forgiveness and a sense of security. These human values are universal and transcend the barriers of race, religion, culture, and ethnicity. They are the pillars of every society.
