"We choose to walk together in a symbolic pilgrimage of our common humanity in the spirit of peace and harmony…and we invite people from all walks of life to join us in this virtuous mission.”

Community connections have been integral to Moscow’s identity as a welcoming and inclusive place, and it was too easy to take them for granted. A vision for unity remains an aspirational goal, in a place that also values diversity. Moscow’s CommUNITY Walk was a way to get to know people outside of our usual social circles, and to enrich our worldviews as a result. I agree that it was a worthwhile tradition, and share your interest in reviving it when pandemic circumstances allow us to do so safely.

> That’s what the annual Moscow CommUNITY Walk/Celebration was all about.  That was one of the most celebrated annual event in Moscow, each spring, from 2006 to 2014, with 400-500 participants from around the Palouse, usually led by the City Mayor and the UI President.  We had financial and moral support from several public-private sectors of the area.
