Traffic Lights 4 Peace

Welcome to the New & Unique Peace Protest.

This has been developed to enable everyone who wishes to the simple opportunity to protest and leave their mark.
Easy to do, takes little time, no resources wasted, yet gives a clear indication of the objection felt.
At last the silent majority given the chance to show their voice!

How is this achieved?
Traffic lights are part of our everyday life in our petrol driven world.
We see them daily.
Most of us are fairly close to one at any given time or place.
Traffic lights are a symbol that we observe and respond to with an action and we disregard them at our peril.
If that symbol becomes synonymous with the call to (red light) STOP WAR and (amber light) CHANGE TO (green light) a GREEN PLANET, then we can utilise that association
BOTH for protest AND to give a gentle reminder to us each time we see the lights, to strive for peace and a greener, more just world.
THE TRAFFIC LIGHT PROTEST IS BORN!

Please let us know about your protests, leave details on Visible Voice.

Every time you place a ribbon on a traffic light you send out the message shown flashing on the lights.

Ribbons can be used to specify and focus the message utlising their colour. (See protest campaigns)

Are you upset by what the Bush Administration & its political allies have done in Iraq?

There have been two traffic light protests to date.

Response has been enthusiastic when known about.

It is simple and lasting (unlike a demo).

The word needs spreading. More will follow.

So easy to do and at anytime ' not just on the protest dates ' so let a friend know about this simple gesture. A visible fluttering ribbon for peace and do it!

Human life is precious, but frail, easily snuffed out by vast military force as brandished indiscriminately by the Bush Administration.

The Bush Administration and its political allies don't count civilian lives lost, they regard them as insignificant, or in their terminology, the sickeningly inadequate and disrespectful, 'collateral damage'.

If you tie a ribbon you recognise that every life is precious, something the Bush and Blair Administrations do not appear to have grasped.

One could say that our P.M. has failed in his duty to speak for the British people.
The ribbons are the voice we are denied by this Prime minister.

The ribbons defy Mr. Blair and his lies.
The ribbons speak for truth, for peace,
for justice and care.

The ribbons affirm the message of the lights and offer a 'visible voice' of hope to the world in defiance of one who many see as our arrogant, selfish, foolishly proud leader. They expose his shame.

Let the ribbons of peace send out a loud message to the world, a message of hope.
