THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 13th - 21st Chalk4Peace! On the pavements and sidewalks of our towns and cities You are invited to Take Action! - For your local organiser, LOOK IN THE MIRROR (Scroll down for "WHAT CAN YOU DO?" to Participate in this GLOBAL outpouring of public art. Where we make our personal statements for peace on the pavements and sidewalks of our cities all over our world.") Chalk4Peace IS HAPPENING! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCjATioFPCI 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! "The Structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, one party,or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world" ... Eleanor Roosevelt Our basic human instincts drive us to seek safety. This is what this chaos is all about.Our essential human survival instincts are acting out of context with the wider global cultural need resulting in mistrust, fear and conflict. Everywhere the media is bombarding us with WAR TALK, distractions and negative belief patterns that encourage us to believe that the future of our world is out of our hands entirely. One place we still have communal access to, is OUR STREETS. We can balance our GLOBAL CONVERSATION with collective self-expression using OUR STREETS AS OUR MEDIA! Chalk4Peace is one step, a catalyst that can transform our global conversation as we the people, en masse make our statement that is our common aspiration for peace. START NOW! Just DO IT! 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! (Scroll down further for "WHAT CAN YOU DO?") 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. All will be seen for several days by thousands of people, then as they are washed away by the elements WE CAN CONTINUE to find fresh places to Chalk4Peace. 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.
