Happy World Peace Day, I made a movie/documentary in Keene New Hampshire, it should be up soon. I noticed NPR(Nationalistic Police Radio) forgot to mention World Peace day
If you missed it come to the regional celebration on sunday:
MONTPELIER
Lots of Hope
Email: dhremote@earthlink.net
Website: www.lotsofhope.org
EVENT : Event: September 24, 2006 Time: 2-5pm
Lots of Hope, a new grassroots group in Vermont, will mark the UN International Day of Peace by hosting a region-wide participatory event in Montpelier on Sunday, September 24th. The event will begin at 2pm with a silent peace walk led by Buddhist monks and nuns. Speakers will include the renowned author on environmental issues, Bill McKibben of Middlebury, Vermont's former Governor and former Ambassador to Switzerland, Madeleine Kunin, and, direct from the United Nations, Ramu Damodaran, the editor of the United Nations Chronicle and an activist on civil rights and other issues. A flock of homing doves will be released to spread the message of peace and hope across the state. There will be great music, poetry, and dancing as well
We expect this gathering will raise public awareness of the three central issues as defined by the late Rev. William Sloane Coffin: "pandemic poverty, environmental degradation, and a world awash with weapons." Although we are inspired by Rev. Coffin, this event is completely interfaith and non-partisan in nature
Concerned citizens and working groups throughout Vermont, New Hampshire and surrounding states are encouraged to attend the gathering, to reflect on our collective power to initiate social change, and to take part in the ongoing work of mobilizing local communities to craft solutions that serve the common good. Come to Montpelier on September 24th BEFORE 2:00 pm to gather for the silent walk and to hear the fine, inspiring speakers describe the issues from their perspectives, hear special music, and be empowered towards hopeful action. In doing this you will join in a larger group to attend to the importance of these three issues and their effect on our communities.
Find out how you can work with others in your community to envision new solutions leading to peace and sustainability. Participate in developing a regional Framework of Action for Hope for the year ahead. Bring a banner that symbolizes what your community is doing to address poverty, environmental degradation, and the overwhelming presence of weapons in our world.
Please come to Montpelier on September 24th, and lend your talents to the ongoing work of addressing the root causes of conflict in our communities and our world. For more information, see www.lotsofhope.org or contact Lots of Hope at dhremote@earthlink.net
