Standing Women
Swift Memorial Park, Valley Road & Old Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, Delaware
Last May hundreds of thousands of women and girls, along with the men and boys they love, in 75 countries and on all continents of the world stood
together in parks, on beaches, in churches, at graduation ceremonies, in their backyards and at school yards or anyplace they could find to stand
in a global wave of humanity in support of a better world for our children. We will be standing for the world's children and grandchildren, and
for the seven generations beyond them. We dream of a world where all of our children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough
food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world
where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they don't live in fear of violence-in their home, in their neighborhood,
in their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This is the cause for which we stand. We will meet by the children's playground,
the entrance off of Old Lancaster Pike. We will gather at 12:45 pm to stand together at 1 pm. Bring a bell if you have one. We can make a difference by
standing in silence for 10 minutes. Mother's Day was originally a day of activism for women of the world. I invite you to reclaim that heritage by
standing with us or standing with a group in your area. Please view the Standing Women website
and view the Standing Women YouTube video.
