Cedric Keith Reaches 3,000 Miles in Walk Across U.S. Promoting Liberty

Outdoorsman and writer Cedric C. Keith is walking across the United States to promote liberty and
protest tyranny. Since beginning his “Long March of Liberty” on April 1st, Keith has walked over 3,000
miles from the Pacific Ocean in Washington state and is currently in eastern Ohio. Keith is collecting
signatures on a petition against government authoritarianism that he plans to deliver on foot to our
nation’s Capitol in Washington, DC, this December. Keith invites liberty-minded Americans to sign the
petition and to walk any portion of “The Long March of Liberty” with him. You can sign online and see
maps of his planned route at marchofliberty.com.


Through his extraordinary effort, Keith hopes to light a spark of inspiration for other freedom-loving
Americans to take bold action in support of liberty. Keith explains, “When ‘15 days to slow the spread’
turned into never-ending lockdowns and ever-increasing restrictions on supposedly free citizens, I saw it
as a unique moment of crisis for liberty. I couldn’t just sit idly by as government, big tech, and big
pharma systematically extinguished our freedoms. I wrote a list of grievances against the expanding
tyranny that I think most patriotic Americans would agree with,” he continues. “When I tried to imagine
the most impactful thing I could possibly do, it was to walk across the country collecting signatures on
this list and advocating for liberty all along the way. And that’s how ‘The Long March of Liberty’ started.”


Keith says he is “overwhelmed” by how many people agree with his mission and want to help however
they can. “I think that’s really the key: each of us has to figure out how we can best advance the cause of
liberty,” Keith explains. “In my case, it’s walking across the country, reaching out to Americans from all
walks of life, trying to inspire each person to use their unique abilities to help secure freedom for
ourselves and future generations.”



Keith recently crossed the 3,000-mile point in his journey and anticipates reaching the nation’s Capitol in
early December. The route follows a generally northerly course, mostly along state highways. It
traverses portions of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.


Keith’s journey is grueling and dangerous. He hiked through mountain lion and grizzly territory in the
West. He dodged rattlesnakes while crossing Montana during brutal, near-record heat and drought,
surviving in part thanks to the generosity of passers-by who offered him water and occasionally food
and shelter as well. Keith walks day after day and mile after mile on sore feet with a heavy pack, along
sometimes narrow roads with heavy traffic. Yet he chose this for himself and stays the course despite its
many hardships. Keith carries with him an unwavering belief in the United States of America and the
hope of inspiring others to stand up and speak out in support of the freedoms upon which our great
country was founded 245 years ago.
