Hi everyone, There will be candlelight vigils all over the world this Sunday and, though it may seem insignificant, I invite you to add some light to this effort. Please bring others - details are below. Also, please let me know if you would like to be removed from this little list I've got going... Thanks, Jeff Jeff Bauer Executive Director Youth Farm and Market Project 2831 Aldrich Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55408 612-872-4226 email: jeff [at] youthfarm.net -----Original Message----- From: MoveOn.org [mailto:vigil [at] moveon.org] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 10:59 AM To: jeff [at] youthfarm.net Subject: Your candle light vigil Dear Jeff Bauer: Thank you for signing up to attend a candlelight vigil in your area. Thousands are participating in this event around the globe. You are currently signed up for the following candlelight vigil: Mississippi River and Summit Avenue March 16, 2003 -- 7:00 PM Misssisippi River Blvd and Summit Avenue St. Paul, MN 55105 United States Meet at the small public plaza on Mississippi River Blvd and Summit Avenue, overlooking the river and with a view of downtown Minneapolis. We will determine where or if to go somewhere afterward for hot chocolate and coffee. This is co-sponsored by http://www.teensagainstwar.org. Your coordinator will contact you soon with more info. If you have questions, please visit the FAQ page: http://moveon.org/vigil/faq.html For questions that aren't answered there, email: vigil [at] moveon.org If you're sending emails to friends to get them involved, tell them which vigils you're attending and send them this link to sign up: http://www.globalvigil.org They can enter their zip codes there and find the vigils you're attending. If you want to sign up for more vigils in your area (people are adding new ones every day) visit the same page and enter your zip code. Here, again, are the ground rules: We are thousands of strangers getting together across the world for the first time. To make this work, it's important that we are all on the same page about what it is we're doing and how we're going to do it. * This is a peaceful vigil, not a rally. The power of this event lies in its numbers and its silence. The tone of these vigils is somber and strong. * Ignore counter protesters or hecklers. Inevitably, at a few events, a few counter protesters will show up, or a few people will turn up to give your group a hard time. Remember: "If you ignore them, they will go away." They are trying to get a reaction out of you. Don't give them one. Ignore them and watch them disappear. * Follow you coordinator's lead. The coordinator of the group is the person who first scheduled the vigil. If there's a problem that needs to be resolved or a decision that needs to be made, everyone should feel free to step up and show some leadership. However, in the absence of any formal decision making structure, we think it only makes sense to defer to the coordinator when there is difficulty in reaching consensus. Your local coordinator will be in touch with you regarding logistics before the vigil. See you there, The MoveOn Vigil Team.
