DESCRIPTION:Gandhi Peace Brigade/ Light a Candle for Peace\n\nA Festival of Friendship 
 will be held on September 12 to create an Axis of Friendship between 
 Americans and Iranians. Iranians, Americans, and people around the world 
 are invited to light a candle for peace and place this candle in their 
 window for the entire day. Join us in celebrating and honoring the humanity 
 that connects us all. It will be held at the San Francisco Civic Center 
 Plaza from 3:30-6:30 pm. We will deliver children's art, poems and letters 
 to Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders with offices in the Federal 
 Building. The rally will conclude at the Plaza with a festival of Iranian 
 and American music, food, dancing and poetry.\n\nDear Friends,\n\nThe world 
 shared America's grief after the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Old 
 barriers dividing nations collapsed with a worldwide outpouring of sorrow 
 and compassion. Americans discovered friends in unlikely places, none more 
 unlikely than Tehran, Iran. Thousands of Iranians spontaneously lit candles 
 in solidarity with the families of 9/11 and the American people.\n\nInstead 
 of accepting opportunities for global peace and friendship, the Bush 
 Administration used 9/11 as a pretext for sowing the seeds of a "war 
 against terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The world's offer of good will was 
 squandered.\n\nOn September 12, we will reignite the remaining embers of 
 good will by creating an Axis of Friendship. Iranians, Americans, and 
 people around the world are invited to light a candle for peace and place 
 this candle in their window for the entire day. Join us in celebrating and 
 honoring the humanity that connects us all.\n\nA Festival of Friendship, 
 including military families and veterans, Iranian-Americans, Christians, 
 Jews, Muslims, and others in opposition to the bombing of Iran will be 
 gathering on September 12 at San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza from 
 3:30-6:30 pm. We will deliver children's art, poems and letters to Nancy 
 Pelosi and other congressional leaders with offices in the Federal 
 Building. The rally will conclude at the Plaza with a festival of Iranian 
 and American music, food, dancing and poetry.\n\nSimilar events are 
 encouraged in Washington DC, Boston, Portland, Seattle, Austin, and other 
 cities around the country and the world ... especially in Tehran. If you 
 are interested in coordinating an event in your city, please reply to this 
 email. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to our friends in the Bay Area for 
 organizing this celebration.\n\nPeace and Freedom,\n\nJes & Leslie\n
