The video at left, "Calling Around the World" by artist Thomas Donovan, is a lyrical
and visual
call to action. Inspired by concern for environmental issues and the greater human condition, this great sounding electro-house dance track shows that when you strip off our skin colors
and labels of religion, politics and more, we are at our core
all humans. As Donovan sings, "Love is what we're needing now, to get the world to turn around." Everybody, the time for peace is NOW. Please do all you can
to make it happen.
Iraq: more than 650,000 civilians
and over 4,617 Coalition soldiers - dead from war. Afghanistan:
over 1,151 Coalition soldiers dead, with the civilian death count unknown.Darfur: over 400,000 people, dead. Israel and Palestine: over 6,200 people since 2000.
The Congo: 3,000,000 since 1998. Mumbai.Chechnya. New York. Sri Lanka. Lebanon.Madrid. The list goes on.
Our Sons and Daughters. Husbands and Wives. Sisters and Brothers. Parents and Friends. It's enough already.All you "leaders" out there, listen. We - the people - want peace, please. NOW!
The visual above shows photos of people of peace, or visual
expressions of peace which they created. These photos provide just a small capsule of the tens of millions
of people around the world raising their voices and being visible and vocal for peace. Please join in!
