>
> In the emergency petition we presented to the U.N. Security
> Council on Monday, over a million of us joined together to ask
> for tough inspections, not war. It was an amazing and
> unprecedented show of global unity that brought folks from
> virtually every country together in one voice. (See below for
> a more detailed description of how Monday's delivery went.)
>
> Signing the petition is an important first step, but in the
> face of an ever-closer and still unjustified war, we need to
> escalate our activity. That's why it's so important that
> every person who signed the emergency petition take the next
> step: joining the wave of candlelight vigils that will circle
> the globe this Sunday. 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, at:
>
> http://www.globalvigil.org
>
> The site will show you how many people are signed up to attend
> the vigils near you. Spread the word to your friends, have
> them sign up on the site, and we can all watch as the numbers
> grow.
>
> 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. Please take some time
> to join millions in countries around the world in a Global
> Vigil for Peace. Sign up now at:
>
> http://www.globalvigil.org
>
> If you can't make a vigil, you can still join the global
> action on Sunday. Just put Christmas lights or anything that
> shines in your window on Sunday evening.
>
> As for our U.N. petition, we'll still be delivering updates
> to the Security Council, so if you have friends or
> colleagues who haven't signed, please ask them to go to:
>
> http://www.moveon.org/emergency/
>
> Together, we can avert this war.
