A bit on peaceful protests and peaceful gatherings
Know what's interesting about
hippies...they got together in astonishing numbers at the Woodstock
festival and had a legendarily great time. No police riots, no mass
arrests...look what can happen, Mr. Police Officer, when you leave us
all alone and just let us do what we came to do, peacefully :)
January 15th, a world-wide vigil for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday!

7PM in each time zone globally.
On his birthday and in the spirit of Dr. King's vision for racial and economic equality, peace, and non-violence, we are holding candlelight vigils to unite our world in a global movement for systemic change.
Wherever we may be, whether in our homes, in city squares, online, Occupies, or at work, we lift a beautiful message high above the political dialogue. We light the dream of a more equitable world in our hearts. We can overcome!
Dr. King said "A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and say: 'This is not just.' "
