Spiritual and political figures, along with NGO leaders, will take part in this as in many other vigils. US-imposed payment conditions are also unacceptable. By refusing to pay UN dues or by imposing conditions on their payment, governments are saying that this kind of behavior is acceptable. We have organized these vigils across the world in just a few weeks. It has been a grassroots process with lots of local initiative.
People are very excited.
Every day we get calls about additional vigils. A global citizen's movement to support the UN is clearly emerging. In the United States, vigils have been organized by local chapters of UNA-USA, the World Federalist Association and other groups.
