Candle(?) Light vigils
Wee Willie Winkie - 12.03.2003 12:03

Last week there was a vague call for 'lights for peace'.Here is a more organized version, complete with sources.


Dear MoveOn supporters around the world,

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:

 http://www.globalvigil.org

Thank you,

-Wes Boyd, MoveOn.org
Tom Andrews, Win Without War
Tuesday March 11, 2003

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!
