It will give us the opportunity to demand a stronger and more effective UN, more open to citizens concerns and more closely attuned to the needs of the world s people. The vigil will make a forceful statement, that the media, politicians and the public cannot ignore. Therefore, We call for local committees to come together and organize local vigils at dusk on October 23rd. Many participants will want to carry candles or small lights and many will wear UN-blue ribbons. Music may be appropriate to set the tone of the event.
Vigils can assume many forms and take place in many locations.
We urge citizens groups and persons of good will across the globe to join us. If we work together, we can succeed beyond our dreams.
