Join with people from all walks of life in your community and around the world to stand together for peace. Vigils will be taking place in over 30 cities in Bangladesh, Canada, China, Great Britain, Mozambique, Switzerland, USA. This international solidarity event will mark the first anniversary of the historic day when more than 10 million people in over 600 cities world-wide demonstrated against the Bush and Blair administrations' plans for the invasion of Iraq. It was the largest protest for peace in world history. In Halifax we will be commemorating the largest peace march in Halifax's history, when over 3,000 braved bitter cold temperatures on February 15, 2003 to call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Iraq. This vigil will be a lead-up to a peace march to take place on Saturday, March 20 on the one-year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Bring a wind-proof candle and a friend.
