MARCH 16:
The countdown is on for the March 16 readings and actions. If there isn’t a reading/action around Rachel’s Words planned in your city, it’s not too late. So far, we are aware of 45 readings/actions taking place in 42 cities in 13 countries. Rachel’s Words can be heard even more widely. Please consider planning a reading and letting us know about it. “Living Room” readings count also—a few friends sitting around a kitchen table reading and talking about
Rachel’s emails. Let us know at info@rachelswords.org what you have planned, when and where and contact info if it’s a public event. Put MARCH 16 in the title of the email. Send photos or video of the event to info@electronicintifada.net so we can use it for the March 22 event. (ground mail address to overnight it is on the website) Check our website at www.rachelswords.org for updated information on where readings/actions are happening.
