Small Lights in the Darkness

By: Rebuilding Alliance (View Profile)

My neighbor, despairing and powerless in her home, saw my light, heard my voice, and then took her own bold steps for peace. Candles sold out in New Hampshire; soon every third house in Chicago suburbs was participating, and people in Korea were writing us to tell us they joined with tears on their cheeks.  We started learning that politicians lead best when they see a purposeful mass movement propelling them to action.

I know a lot about how to organize such a gesture, and would be happy to share further logistics information.  Please let me know if you feel this has value.

Sincerely, Donna Baranski-Walker Executive Director, The Rebuilding Alliance
