Worldwide Candlelight Vigil to Unite Movements for a Better World
MLK Jr. Day, January 15, 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 at 7pm in each time zone to unite our world in a global movement for systemic change.
On January 15, 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."
We gather to empower a great and global dream, a dream we have all dreamt of for thousands of years. We will sing, because “freedom songs are the soul of the movement.” Together, we will make the dream a reality.

7pm sharp. Count me in. Its time for a real change in this country.
Love this idea. We need to remember what he fought for instead of just taking the day off work.
