DESCRIPTION:Candlelight vigils listed below are the ones within 5 miles of the Mission 
 District. Go to www.globalvigil.org for the one closest to 
 you.\n\nProblems? Questions? \nFirst: Read the F.A.Q.\nThen: email 
 vigil@moveon.org \n\nCandlelight vigils in your area\n\nThe list below 
 shows all the vigils that others in your area have already scheduled. 
 Select the vigil you'd like to attend. Bring as many friends as you can. 
 Please encourage them to sign up on this site, but it's not required. 
 \n\nTo schedule a new vigil in your area click here. \n\nCheck the vigil 
 you want to attend below, and then click the "Select Vigil " button. 
 \n\n\nAll vigils take place Sunday, March 16 -- 7:00 PM (19:00)\n\nSort by: 
 distance | size | city \n\nSelect Vigil\n[Note: Counts only include 
 participants who have signed up on the Web site. \nActual attendance at 
 most vigils will be greater than the numbers below.] \n 	Dolores Park (259 
 registered participants/coordinators) \nOn the Corner of 18th & 
 Dolores\nSan Francisco, CA\nMeet in the palm grove above the playground at 
 6:30pm--let's light up the hill and send a beacon of hope across the city 
 and the world. Come one come all--human and canine alike.\nSunday, March 
 16, 07:00 PM \n 	 \n 	Union Square (109 registered 
 participants/coordinators) \nDowntown San Francisco\nSan Francisco, CA\nI'd 
 like to suggest that instead of doing a bunch of small vigils around the 
 city that we pool our efforts and all meet at Union Square. It will be much 
 more impressive (and newsworthy) if we have one giant crowd rather than 
 many small vigils. Union Square has a large area for meeting, it's 
 extremely visible and picturesque (for the media), and it's easy to get to 
 on public transportation. I'll create small flyers with info about the 
 vigil for handing out at the march on Saturday. If enough people are 
 interested, we can coordinate a leafletting effort for the same evening, 
 either before or after the vigil. I'll send a final email with all the 
 details about where to meet and what to bring on Friday afternoon. Peace, 
 Chris.\nSunday, March 16, 07:00 PM \n 	 \n 	Harvey Milk Plaza (88

 water tank - public property with an intimate feel.\nSunday, March 16, 
 07:00 PM \n 	 \n 	Union Square (70 registered participants/coordinators) 
 \nDowntown San Francisco\nSan Francisco, CA\nIF YOU ARE COMING TO UNION 
 SQUARE, PLEASE SIGN UP HERE AND NOT ABOVE. THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 
 THE EMAIL ENTERED IN THE ORIGINAL FORM AND I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO EMAIL 
 ANYONE WHO HAS SIGNED UP (ALL 88 OF YOU). WE ARE STILL HAVING THE VIGIL AND 
 IF YOU SIGN UP HERE I WILL BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU. IF YOU'VE ALREADY SIGNED 
 UP FOR THE ORIGINAL LISTING PLEASE SIGN UP AGAIN HERE, SO I CAN CONTACT YOU 
 WITH DETAILS. THANKS AND SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION, CHRIS I'd like to suggest 
 that instead of doing a bunch of small vigils around the city that we pool 
 our efforts and all meet at Union Square. It will be much more impressive 
 (and newsworthy) if we have one giant crowd rather than many small vigils.
