Peace-Drive on Canberra Arrives on Palm Sunday April 13

Yesterday it was announced that the Peace-Drive will arrive in Canberra on Palm Sunday, 13th April. One group on the Peace-Drive will be leaving Davenport Square, Macclesfield in South Australia at 10am on Friday 11th April.

Mr Andrew Dykstra, Macclesfield resident and spokesperson for Peace-Drive said: "I feel so incredibly empowered to be part of a cross-cultural, cross-social, cross-gender global movement towards peace and justice for all."

"My car has already brought so many people together and inspired them just through the act of signing it with peace messages.

"As far as I'm concerned the Peace-Drive is already a huge success.

"In the two weeks since people started signing the car I have driven all around Adelaide and have had an overwhelming positive response with only three negative responses."
