United Kingdom… United States…Egypt…Austria…Germany…Canada…Ecuador… Puerto Rico…France…Chile…Iran…Iraq…Mexico…Spain…Italy…Cypress…Israel… Everywhere!

The following has been e mailed to hundreds and thousands
all over the world to activate the first simultaneous Chalk4Peace (scroll down)

People young and old from all over the world are being activated to participate in this
GLOBAL Art/Peace project taking place in communities everywhere Sept 16/17th

This effort follows the success of smaller localized
Chalk4Peace events in London since 2003
http://www.infinitepossibility.org/chalk
and in various locations around the world notably @
The Museum of Modern ARF
http://www.Modernarf.smugmug.com

It is hoped that at least one million people will participate
in this global outpouring of the heart.

Individuals are encouraged to act alone or to organise groups
in their local community to chalk on the pavements/sidewalks and contribute to
this global tapestry up to the weekend of September 13th- 21st and beyond.

“Chalk4Peace represents a new direction in activism.
It requires no organisation other that the communication of the idea – it is self organising,
using the streets as a form of media that is fully accessible to the general public and moved by
the enthusiasm of those who are touched by the concept –
Chalk is readily available every where! – It harmless, temporary,
yet offers a unique way to contribute to the global conversation that shapes our culture”.

THE WEEK OF
Sept 13th - 21st
Chalk4Peace!
On the pavements and sidewalks
of our towns and cities

You are invited to Take Action!
(Scroll down for what YOU can 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!

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
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 ages, 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
teetering on the edge of extinction.

No 1 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. That is what this chaos is all about.
Our essential human survival instincts are acting out of context with the wider global cultural need.

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 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
Sept 13th - 21st
Global Chalk4Peace Action!

Make it happen in your Community!

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 inmodern 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 endeavour 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.
