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 in...@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 in...@electronicintifada.net so we can use it for the March 22 event.
