Please help with a Global Vigil for Peace

["Anita De Maio" <ademaio@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope you can participate.
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:

Thank you,

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@xxxxxxxxxx, 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!
