Route The full route is over 800 miles. In any given day of the Walk we can
accommodate 10-12 Walkers who walk the full day’s route (12 to 16
miles). We may have to limit the number of Walkers in certain sections
of the Walk. Day Walkers will be charged $20/day, which is to cover food
and other Walk costs, and they are responsible for their own lodging.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided for walkers and staff.
Weekday Venues (Mon-Fri evenings) The end-of-the-day communities will host a potluck dinner and discussion
time about affordable housing issues specific to those communities. We
will need a space big enough to hold about 50-100 people. Each night of
the week will be themed differently, and we will rely heavily on the
communities to publicize the event. We would also need permission to
park our support vehicles for the night and space for 15 or so people to
camp or rollout beds.
Weekend Venues Each Saturday we will hold a Community Walk that will culminate in a
Rally. The Rally will have food and entertainment, and will give
sponsors and politicians a chance to address their issues. The Community
Walk will be an approximate 5 km loop within town, passing examples of
different kinds of housing and main parts of town. We will charge a fee
of $30. We are encouraging online registrations at www.peopleswalk.org,
but will have paper forms available if needed. Community Walkers will
also have the opportunity to collect pledges for the local
housing-related 501-c3 of their choice. We will need a table and
volunteers to assist with checking in Walkers and registration. We will
also need water stations set up and staffed at reasonable places along
the route. We need to get the proper permits in place. We also need to a
good start/stop point that has adequate parking and space for a rally.
