Why Walk for Values? Why is this Walk different? Find out the reason for having the walk – listen to an audio. To download this audio, please click here.
One lesson the recent financial crisis has taught is that we are all dependent on each other for our well-being AND we each need to take responsibility for how we live. It’s now about making choices that benefit not just ourselves but everyone.
How? By committing ourselves to practice values that for many generations have united communities and made nations strong. These are five values universal to all lands, peoples, religions, and civil societies, etc. - Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and Nonviolence.
Join us in the Southwest Inaugural Walk for Values USA, and Adopt a Value as we celebrate and encourage the practice of these values. We invite you to walk as an individual or member of a group - be it family, school, workplace, community group, service organization or sporting team. For an unforgettable journey, come and experience the power of many people walking together for a common cause, and willing to lead by example.
This walk is about re-building character and restoring goodness in our lives. It can be done; it’s just up to you!

Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza
About a mile and a half west of downtown Phoenix, in the shadow of the State Capitol, the Capitol Museum and the government mall, is Wesley Bolin Plaza, honoring the late governor who was better known as the perennial Secretary of State. The plaza covers two square blocks of the State Capitol grounds and is the site of 23 memorials commemorating the achievements of Governor Bolin and other prominent Arizonans. On the eastern tip of the plaza rests the anchor of the USS Arizona, sunk during the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor in 1941, as a memorial to the men who died aboard the battleship. The plaza is a frequent site for political rallies, peaceful demonstrations and memorial ceremonies.
