Fw: Please help with a Global Vigil for Peace




> 
> Please visit http://www.globalvigil.org and plan a candlelight vigil
> for peace in your area on Sunday, March 16 at 7 pm.  MoveOn.org and
> the Win Without War coalition, together with Archbishop Desmond Tutu
> and many faith-based organizations, are calling this vigil, and we
> need your help.
> 
> Beginning in New Zealand, this will be a rolling wave of candlelight
> gatherings that will quickly cross the globe.  It's up to you to make
> this happen.  Today we are asking individuals, like you, to organize
> a vigil in each community.  We're hoping that thousands of small
> groups around the world will be inspired to come together and
> stand for peace.
> 
> For more information about how to make this happen in your community
> and to join with millions of others around the globe, go to
> 
>    http://www.globalvigil.org
> 
> It's time for the world to come together in this moment of darkness
> and rekindle the light of reason -- and of hope.  It's time to renew
> our commitment to building a positive world for our children.
> 
> With your help, we will see the first candlelight vigil to sweep
> around the globe on the evening of March 16th.  Together, we will
> lead the nations of the world away from an unnecessary war and
> toward a peaceful and prosperous future.
> 
> This is a key moment in history.  Be a part of it.  Go to:

> P.S.  You can make your local vigil as small or as big as you wish.
> The important thing is to act now and to add your efforts to the
> efforts of thousands of others around the world.  Whether you plan
> a gathering with just your closest friends, or organize an event
> for thousands, you will be making a difference.  Register your
> event on our web site above.
> 
> Immediately afterward, please report your vigil to our web site
> or to photos@moveon.org, with digital photographs if possible.
> If you know how, please crop and resize your photos to approximately
> 200h x 150v pixels and send them in .jpg format.  Please include
> the city, location and country of your vigil.  We will compile the
> reports and photos for the media.
> 
> P.P.S. Yesterday, we delivered to the 15 United Nations Security
> Council members anti-war comments from one million people around
> the world, gathered last week in just five days.  180 boxes of
> your petitions were delivered, which drew extensive media attention.
> It now appears that the Bush administration's resolution on Iraq will
> fail to garner Security Council support, and world public opinion has
> been a key part of this.  Thank you!
