It was announced yesterday at our local "No war on Iraq" demonstration that there were multiple sites in Cincinnati where one could go to participate in the vigil tonight. It was such a beautiful day here (69 degress and sunny) after a long, cold, snowy winter, that we were lounging on the deck until dark. I walked into the house and clicked on my email. The listserve had four messages so I started to read them only to be reminded that the vigil started at 7:00. We rushed to the site at Hamilton and Otte and found over 200 people lining the street with candles and signs. This was such a moving experience for me because this site is just 3 blocks from a parcel of land that may one day become the Cincinnati Ecovillage. We are working with the city to get the rights to develop a 7 acre parcel which was once cleared for a freeway. The community stopped the building of the freeway and now the state will turn the land back to the city. Without the list serve, we wouldn't have made it to the vigil. I am so glad that I didn't miss this opportunity to participate as one of the over 6000 sites in 169 countries.

This is going to be a massive global event. Already -- just since Tuesday -- 1,605 vigils have been scheduled in 77 countries. You can see what vigils have been scheduled in your area, and sign up for one. For more information about the global vigils visit the following website. http://www.globalvigil.org Spread the word to your friends, have them sign up on the site; we can all watch as the numbers grow. Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta are participating in the Global Vigil at 7:00pm Sunday March 16. We will stand together in silence and send a message to the security council that we are opposed to a possible war on Iraq. Try a silent vigil - A Silent Presence for Peace. If you are interested in participating remember candles, lighters, something to protect your candle, appropriate for the weather, and thoughts for peace. Beginning in New Zealand, these locally organized candlelight vigils will circle around the globe. They'll be beautiful, powerful, and inspiring. They'll send an eloquent and clear message that the world wants peace. And they'll be supported by many religious leaders -- including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner -- who will help to articulate the moral case against war. Never before have so many coordinated vigils taken place around the globe. We have the opportunity on Sunday to show just how the world feels about the war on Iraq -- but the impact depends on your participation. Take some time to join millions in countries around the world in a Global Peace Vigil. If you can't make a vigil, you can still join the global action on Sunday. Put Christmas lights or anything that shines in your window on Sunday evening. Also see: www.womeninblack.net and the list of countries with groups planning regular vigils.
