December 27: Pune: Let us Be the Change – Meeting
“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history”.
M. K. Gandhi
Hi there all,
Terrible things have happened in Mumbai recently and I am sure you are as badly upset about this as we are. Perhaps some of us are feeling helpless and dejected… maybe even feeling defeated. That’s natural but, you will agree, it is not constructive. It does not help matters in any way. We need to do something positive..
Here’s your chance to do something proactive about this situation. We know that what has brought us to this sad pass is the Malaise of Corruption. There is a massive public demand for Accountability and Transparency from our Political Representatives and from the Bureaucrats.
This is a significant moment for all of us Indians to Harness this Energy and these Emotions constructively. However, before we demand more of our Politicians and Administrators, we need to first BE THE CHANGE we wish to see. There are many ways of doing this..
For a start, join us at EMPRESS GARDENS on DECEMBER 27th 2008 at 5:00pm to take the following Pledge:-
I WILL BE THE CHANGE I WISH TO SEE. I AM AN INDIAN.
I WILL NOT ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION. I AM AN INDIAN.
IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO EXERCISE MY VOTE. I AM AN INDIAN..
Enough of candlelit vigils and silent rallies of solidarity. Let us take back some actionable points. Representatives will talk on Citizens Participation and how we can Empower Ourselves. There will also be a brief talk on Citizens Rights and Voter Registration.
So do come and bring your like minded friends along..
All the best..
Satish Khot
