global peace vigil
*******************
the closest location for mit students would be:
Weeks Footbridge
Charles River, foot of DeWolfe Street
Cambridge, MA
This location was used as a vigil site on 9/11/02. It's peaceful and comforting to be able to stand on the bridge or along the banks of the Charles. Please bring your own candles or flashlights. If you play an instrument and would care to bring it along to play for the group, please do.
