The group resumed the walk at 6am, but then encountered a police checkpoint. The network decided to split the marchers into groups of four so the walk could continue. The People GO Network is an umbrella group of civil organisations working on issues related to rights and politics. The goal is to cover 800,000 steps or 450 kilometres, reaching Khon Kaen on February 17. As the activists walk, they seek out friends along the route to share their ideas about civic issues and the government’s failure to address them, she said.
