make sure that you have chalk with you always - we can colour our grey streets,

Our whole culture is a product of our conversation - words - media

Our cultural media is broadcasting fear and war, let us use the media that is available,
that is our streets, our walls, our pavements to create a new powerful conversation for peace

see how many are taking part - its growing every day

The Chalk4Peace project has already transformed the experience of
thousands of people attending demonstrations for peace and public
gatherings all over the
world during the past 3 years. Chalk4Peace is both a tool and a
conduit for non violent public self expression,
and participation in the growing global movement for peace.

Chalk4Peace is an opportunity for all of us of all ages to make our
feelings known, especially the young, whose future is in dire jeopardy
as our global village falls faster and faster into the fear breeding
fear breeding fear spiral.

Our global culture is teetering on the edge of extinction.

No one person alone can turn this around, but together WE CAN!

"The Structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, one
party,or one nation. It must be a peace which rests on the cooperative
effort of the whole world"
... Eleanor Roosevelt

Our basic human instincts drive us to seek safety. This is what this
chaos is all about.Our essential human survival instincts are acting
out of context with the wider global cultural need resulting in
mistrust, fear and conflict.

Everywhere the media is bombarding us with WAR TALK, distractions and
negative belief patterns that encourage us to believe that the future
of our world is out of our hands entirely.

One place we still have communal access to, is OUR STREETS.

We can balance our GLOBAL CONVERSATION with collective self-expression
using OUR STREETS AS OUR MEDIA!

Chalk4Peace is one step, a catalyst that can transform our global
conversation as we the people, en masse make our statement that is our
common aspiration for peace.

START NOW! Just DO IT!

Carry some chalk with you, invite a friend with you, to chalk
inspirations on the pavement whenever and wherever you fancy.

Chalk is harmless, cheap and washes away within a few days.

Especially PARTICIPATE in the Sept 13th - 21st
GLOBAL Chalk4Peace ACTION!

Make it happen in your Community!

(Scroll down further for "WHAT CAN YOU DO?")

Lets us turn our grey streets into a living river of colour and
possibility - With poetry, hearts, peace symbols, empowering
statements, also
expressions of our frustrations and despair.

All will be seen for several days by thousands of people, then as they
are washed away by the elements WE CAN CONTINUE to find fresh places
to Chalk4Peace.

We don't need to be an artist to Chalk4Peace. Every statement, however
small or large becomes part of the amazing tapestry that is our
global future.

This unique event conceivably, could be the largest of its kind in
modern history.

It is a global effort that is happening.

We The People are spreading the word and making the effort to be a
part of this huge creative endeavor to bring Peace back into the equation.

It is our goal for at least one million or more of us to participate
with this sidewalk/pavement chalk extravaganza, at thousands of
locations, in as
many countries, cities and towns around the world as is possible.

Waste of time

What a total and utter waste of time.

Chalky White


Not a waste of time!

Nearly everything we do every day is a waste of time.

sniping from the sidelines

why do you think it's worth us reading you saying 'it's a waste of time'! What do you get out of sniping from the sidelines in the comfort of your armchair?

If you aren't into chalking, don't do it and organise something else, but just get on with it and tell the world. Then we can admire what you've done and not comment that 'it's a waste of time'

of your armchair


you are missing the point

all power to your chalk

Any action that connects with people and gets them thinking and questioning things and maybe even taking action is worthwhile. We need diversity of tactics and need to support people in thier efforts...oh except the SWP and STWC sectarian splitters!
