>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:

>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 at 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!
