The vigil will be held in Plaza Park at the Peace Garden.
Sunday, August 5, 2012

and Ventura’s Plaza Park on Santa Clara, across from Main Post Office.
Participants will record a brief video message to participate in the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons’ Million Pleas to Free the World from Nuclear weapons. The video project has been started by a group of school children from Hiroshima, Japan and is addressed to the 9 countries still in possession of nuclear weapons. People from all over the globe upload a video clip of themselves saying the word “please”. The “pleases” will then be edited into a long virtual chain letter, which will act as a petition to abolish nuclear weapons, worldwide. For more information, see Million Pleas and ICAN.
