VOTE for PEACE (73 Days Remain)

Posted on June 27, 2009

Part art, part activism: Worldwide Moment is a photography project for peace. Once per year we organize the world community to stop and celebrate peace by taking photographs of their simultaneous worlds. Currently we are honored to be a finalist for a $10,000 online vote-based grant.

I have been organizing Worldwide Moment with very limited resources, yet it’s grown to a group of 3,500 Facebook members, 1,000 Twitter followers, and I’ve seen citizens from more than 20 countries participate. This is not my job. But I treat it like like it is because I believe in the power of this idea.

Will you register and vote for us to win this grant at www.ideablob.com/5550 ?

We have brought this idea so far with so little. Imagine what we could do with $10,000? Build a multi-language website to educate world citizens about Worldwide Moment; provide cameras to international supporters; reach out to schools, churches, non-profits, and influential people around the world.

I’ll be honest, we are the underdog right now in this grant contest. We’re down by about 150 votes at the time of this writing. But I believe in this idea because I believe in the power of art, community, and cooperation.

Your vote for Worldwide Moment is a vote for peace. And please — feel free to re-post this on your own blog and invite others to vote.

Thank you very much,
Brett Brownell
