“In 2007, Standing Women launched its campaign inspired by Sharon Mehdi’s story to her granddaughter about the Great Silent Grandmother Gathering. They asked that women stand together in silence for a better world at 1 pm on the second Sunday in May, which is Mothers’ Day in the United States. Almost 4000 “standing locations” were listed from 81 nations, including 876 organizations.
Every year since then, Standing Women has issued its invitation to stand together. The world seems more and more at crisis, and many of us have included the moment of standing in our Mothers’ Day celebrations, holding strong our intention that the crisis will bring us all together to create new systems that serve everyone.
Once again Standing Women, now partnered with Gather the Women Global Matrix and LightPages, is inviting us to stand together for a better world for the mothers, children, and families of the world. The invitation is to participate in a global moment affirming the unity of the world’s women on May 9 at 1 pm.
Please take a moment and go to http://www.standingwomen.org Register the place where you will stand for a better world. Others in your area will be able to find you.?On May 9, 1pm, stand together in silence for five minutes. Consider reading a declaration for a better world following your standing.
Send in pictures, audios, videos of your standing!”
I’m going to be standing at Fred Gingell Park in Tsawwassen at 1 pm on May 9th, come and join me!
peace, namaste & hippy love for generations,
