I cross posted this in SOS as well...
Anyone interested in getting homeschoolers and/or children of all ages together to Chalk
For Peace? We are new to the area so I'm not sure of where a good
location in RI would be for something like this. One that is safe from
busy cars, possibly a square of some sort w/ foot traffic to help spread
our message? Does the downtown Providence area have something like this?
We can pick a day and time later...but I truly hope we can have a great
turnout for this filled w/ many families spreading the word of
Peace to our community! Please, Join us for this!
No age is too
young...if you can pick up chalk you can help spread the message!
I am also going to organize one for Boston since we are there on
weekends to visit family. Here are the details on Chalk4Peace:
100's of cities around the world Chalk4Peace2008 Sept13-21
This is non political campaign- whether we are left, right or centrist,
PEACE is in all of our interests, especially our children
Its Time To Get Out The Chalk!
Global Chalk4Peace2008 - Sept 13 - 21st
During the week of international peace events
http://infinitepossibility.org/chalk/chalk2008/
We CAN Make THE Difference!
THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13th - 21st Chalk4Peace!
On the pavements and sidewalks of our towns and cities
(5 min video of Chalk4Peace in London)
All around the globe, together we are decorating, dedicating and
declaring, in deep sincerity our collective call for peace.
Chalk4Peace is about our empowerment. We The People, our global
culture, all people everywhere and our common desire to live in peace.
The Chalk4Peace project has already transformed the experience of
thousands of people attending demonstrations for peace and public
gatherings all over the
world during the past 3 years. Chalk4Peace is both a tool and a
conduit for non violent public self expression,
and participation in the growing global movement for peace.
Chalk4Peace is an opportunity for all of us of all ages to make our
feelings known, especially the young, whose future is in dire jeopardy
as our global village falls faster and faster into the fear breeding
fear breeding fear spiral.
Our global culture is teetering on the edge of extinction.
No one person alone can turn this around, but together WE CAN!
Carry some chalk with you, invite a friend with you, to chalk
inspirations on the pavement whenever and wherever you fancy.
Chalk is harmless, cheap and washes away within a few days.
Especially PARTICIPATE in the Sept 13th - 21st
GLOBAL Chalk4Peace ACTION!
Make it happen in your Community!
Lets us turn our grey streets into a living river of colour and
possibility - With poetry, hearts, peace symbols, empowering
statements, also
expressions of our frustrations and despair.
We don't need to be an artist to Chalk4Peace. Every statement, however
small or large becomes part of the amazing tapestry that is our
global future.
This unique event conceivably, could be the largest of its kind in
modern history.
It is a global effort that is happening.
We The People are spreading the word and making the effort to be a
part of this huge creative endeavor to bring Peace back into the
equation.
It is our goal for at least one million or more of us to participate
with this sidewalk/pavement chalk extravaganza, at thousands of
locations, in as
many countries, cities and towns around the world as is possible.
Dedicated to the child inside each one of us,
All the children and
All the children to come
