Join me on the Bridge global campaign
by Carrie Lee | March 8, 2012 (All day)
Women around the world are gathering on bridges!
Now in it's third year, the Join Me on the Bridge campaign started in 2010 when women from Congo and Rwanda joined together on the bridge connecting their two countries, showing that they could build the bridges of peace and hope for the future. This action sparked a massive global movement, and last year they were joined by thousands of people on hundreds of bridges worldwide.
On International Women's Day, 8 March, thousands of people will show that they are with the women of Afghanistan, Iraq, Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan and other war-torn countries.
We stand with these women to give them strength and to show we support their demands for peace and equality. Women are peace builders and with equality at the peace negotiation tables and governing bodies of their countries they will build a more peaceful world.
Check out www.joinmeonthebridge.org for details and to find an event near you.
If there isn't an event in your town, consider gathering a group to meet on a bridge and be a part of this global phenomenon toward a peaceful world!
