More dispatches have been coming in from Hope Vigil organizers from around the world. The following is an email we received from Jackie, one of the organizers of the VANCOUVER 250 DAYS HOPE VIGIL:

Here are some photos from our day yesterday. I will send a few with this email and the rest in another.
Signing the petition.
I would call it a success! There were many people on the trail when we were doing our walk and we stopped and talked to at least 40 of them and got many new signatures for the petition. If they didn’t sign right away, they at least took away with them the hand out with the website on it and promised to sign there after they had read more about it. Some people had heard about what is happening on the news, others knew nothing about it but everyone was very supportive and interested and I am sure will go out and spread the word themselves.
We raised $250 from our raffle. I will donate that through the website this afternoon.
We wrote postcards to the hikers and also letters to Ahmadinejad.
And then we just ate some really good food including Rachel’s vegan, fair-trade chocolate cake!
Alex, my mom won the “free the hikers” necklace in the raffle and she would like to give it to your mom.
Hope the day went well for you both. I look forward to reading about and seeing pictures of what everybody did on the website.
