Hi All,
I received this the other day, sounds like a good idea to me!

> Mission Possible - "Our World Working For ALL of Us"
>
> We CAN Make THE Difference!
>
> THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15th to 23rd Chalk4Peace!
>
> You are invited to Take Action! - ("Scroll down for
> WHAT CAN YOU DO?")
> To Participate in this GLOBAL outpouring of public
> art. Where we makeour personal statements for peace
> on the pavements and sidewalks of our cities all
> over our world.
>
> Chalk4Peace IS HAPPENING!
>
> All around the globe, together we are decorating,
> dedicating and
> declaring, in deep sincerity our collective call for
> peace.
>
> Chalk4Peace is about our empowerment. We The People,
> our global culture, all people everywhere and our
> common desire to live in peace.
>
> The Chalk4Peace project has already transformed the
> experience of thousands of people attending dem
> onstrations for peace all over the world during the
> past 4 years. Chalk4Peace is both a tool and a
> conduit for non violent public self expression,
> and participation in the growing global movement for
> peace.
>
> Chalk4Peace is an opportunity for all of us of all
> ages to make our feelings known, especially the
> young, whose future is in dire jeopardy as our
> global village falls faster and faster into the fear
> breeding fear breeding fear spiral.
>
> Our global culture is teetering on the edge of
> extinction.
>
> No 1 person alone can turn this around, but together
> WE CAN!
>
> "The Structure of world peace cannot be the work of
> one man, one party,or one nation. It must be a peace
> which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole
> world"
> ... Eleanor Roosevelt
>
> Our basic human instincts drive us to seek safety.
> This is what this chaos is all about.Our essential
> human survival instincts are acting out of context
> with the wider global cultural need resulting in
> mistrust, fear and conflict.
>
> Everywhere the media bombards us with WAR TALK,
> distractions and negative belief patterns that
> encourage us to believe that the future of our world
> is out of our hands entirely.
>
> One place we still have communal access to, is OUR
> STREETS.
>
> We can balance our GLOBAL CONVERSATION with
> collective self-expression using OUR STREETS AS OUR
> MEDIA!
>
> Chalk4Peace is one step, a catalyst that can
> transform our global
> conversation as "we the people", en masse make our
> statement that is our common aspiration for PEACE.
>
> START NOW! Just DO IT!
>
> Carry some chalk with you, invite a friend with you,
> to chalk
> inspirations on the pavement whenever and wherever

>
> Chalk is harmless, cheap and washes away within a

> Especially PARTICIPATE in the Sept 15th to 23rd
> GLOBAL Chalk4Peace ACTION!
>
> Make it happen in your Community!
>
> (Scroll down for "WHAT CAN YOU DO?")
>
> Lets us turn our grey streets into a living river of

>
> All will be seen for several days by thousands of
> people, then as they are washed away by the elements
> WE CAN CONTINUE to find fresh places to Chalk4Peace.
>
> We don't need to be an artist to Chalk4Peace. Every

>
> This unique event conceivably, could be the largest

>
> We The People are spreading the word and making the
