good activity.  Demonstration site: on the

bring your own).

CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY
WITH A LETTER AND A CANDLE
Sunday, December 09, 2007         3:00 pm
St. Paul's Memorial Church, 1700 University
Ave

What better way to commemorate Human Rights
Day (December 10th) than by standing up for
those
whose rights have been denied? Amnesty
International's worldwide goal of 70,000
letters can make
all the difference to these individuals and
remind them that their struggle has not been
forgotten.

Not sure what the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights is, or what it means for
justice and
human dignity? Come to the candle-lit
reading at 3:00 pm.

Sponsored By: Amnesty International Group

Join us during the darkest part of the year
to help usher in the new light. We'll
present the
regional premiere of 12 new movies that tell
stories of both hope and terror from around
the
world. Cautionary tales that show how peace
is destroyed by fear, poverty, and ideology.
And
heroic tales of peace achieved through
conflict resolution, cross-cultural studies,
respect for
civil and human rights, and the nurturing of
a just and tolerant society.

Presented by Tidewater Peace Alliance,
a coalition of peace and social justice
organizations.

Films and events l held at either Naro
Cinema or Studio for the Healing Arts,
Norfol, Virginia..
