Stand for a Better World Sunday Mother's Day for 5 Minutes 1PM Your Local Time!

May 9, 2008

Standing Women will stand again on May 11, 2008, 1 pm local time.

May 11 is fast approaching. We hope you will stand with us again this year and please register your standing site by clicking on the "tell us where you will stand" link on the website: http://www.standingwomen.org. Last May hundreds of thousands of women and girls, along with the men and boys they love, in 75 countries and on all continents of the world stood together in parks, on beaches, in churches, at graduation ceremonies, in their backyards and at school yards or anyplace they could find to stand in a global wave of humanity in support of a better world for our children. We invite women and their families everywhere to take this "stand" with us again, on May 11 at 1 p.m. local time for just 5 minutes, to rekindle the world with our common vision. We stand for the world's children and grandchildren, and for the seven generations beyond them. We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they don't live in fear of violence-in their home, in their neighborhood, in their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This is the cause for which we stand.

To learn more and register your standing, go to the Standing Women website at www.standingwomen.org And please pass on the invitation and our YouTube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eNJ4oVQKxU to your friends. The vision we hold together can become a reality when enough of us come forward and take a stand... With hope and thanks from the women of Ohio.

I will be standing for 5 minutes on the north east corner of Hollywood Blvd & Vine in Los Angeles, CA. Any one is welcome join me there, this Sunday at 1PM.
