MAY LOVE PREVAIL ON EARTH
World Peace Sign Movement organized everywhere except in the US for next March 17!!!
Hi!
Here is a most excellent initiative that I feel I need to bring to your attention. Could you urgently please see if you could help get the ball rolling so that some US cities also participate to this worldwide movement.
With the apparent plans to attack Iran hatched by the warmongering US administration -- see several related news excerpts about this in the "ALSO RECOMMENDED" section of my latest compilation "Veracity Series #17: Taking it all in... Quietly" at http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Archives2007/Veracity17.htm -- it would seem urgent to massively demonstrate the will for Peace of the vast majority of people, especially in the United States.
Thanks for your attention to this urgent matter

P.S. I've already sent this directly to the following US peace organizations... webmaster@worldcantwait.net, info@codepinkalert.org, webmistress@codepinkalert.org, webmaster@unitedforpeace.org, for@forusa.org, pti@forusa.org, breznicek@veteransforpeace.net, mfso@mfso.org, afscinfo@afsc.org, ivaw@ivaw.org, wrl@warresisters.org but if you know of other such groups you are welcomed to contact them as well. And if you are living elsewhere in the world, you are also welcomed to get involved and spread this around. Check all the cities involved at worldPEACESIGN 2007 http://www.bekejel.net/wps/ to find out local contacts.

International Human Peace Sign
http://humanpeacesign.org/
The internationally recognized symbol of peace which became hugely popular in the 1960's, is having an on going resurgence. Throughout the world, as part of the ongoing efforts of The Humanist Movement promoting non-violence, the 'Human Peace Sign' has emerged.Beginning in Budapest, Hungary, the symbolic act is being held in cities across the planet. On March 17, 2007 marking the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq, these cities will unite, each forming their own human peace signs. These events will begin with a simple ceremony, sometimes accompanied with music and entertainment and then their lanterns/candles/torches will be lit and they will all stand together forming a giant peace sign. Humans from all walks of life, religious beliefs and races will symbolically join together, showing that their desire for peace comes from deep within their hearts. They believe we must open the lines of dialogue regarding any acts of war. The deaths of innocent people and the continual build up of the nuclear arsenal of any nation, is unacceptable.When viewed or photographed from above, the Human Peace Sign will twinkle in the night showing there are those who believe peace to be attainable.
World Peace Sign Movement
http://www.web.net/~humanist/peacesign/
On March 17, 2007, Peace Signs will form on every continent on Earth. Peace in London, Nairobi, Buenos Aires, New York, Prague, Santiago, Bombay, Bogota, Monrovia, Budapest. All over the world, people will gather to call for an end to violence, for an end to the invasions and occupations, for global nuclear disarmament, and for light to be ignited in the hearts and minds of all human beings. The Toronto Peace Sign will be part of the Day of Action to mark the anniversary of the war in Iraq. Together with the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War, and the Hiroshima Day Coalition, the Humanist Movement invites you to stand for peace. See pictures from around the world at http://www.web.net/~humanist/peacesign/plinks.htm
There is nothing serious yet (that I'm aware of!) being organized in the United States. The sole contact is Aaron Freimark <abf@mac.com>. Could you help please bring this to the attention of all potentially interested Peace and anti-war organizations in the US...
