For immediate release
September 25, 1998

Berkeley, Ca The Butterfly Gardeners Association(BGA) headquartered in Berkeley, Abolition 2000, and other interested peace, environmental, faith, spiritual, and millennium groups have been asked by the Global Inititive in Switzerland to take on the honourful task of presenting the World Peace Candle to Mr. Kofi Annan next year on Saturday, 10th of July, 1999 at the United Nations.

They envision the Peace Candle, presently in their office in Solothurn, will be given to the Secretary General on the last day of the "People_s Walk for Peace" on July 4 - 10 of 1999.

The Peace Candle has never been lit. It has been waiting since spring 1995 with the following purpose: It shall be lit as soon as all nuclear weapons are abolished, as a first step to total disarmament. The peace Candle has been made from cannon barrels donated by the Swiss Army. They want this candle to be a gift for the UN, and they would like the UN to provide a room for it. There the candle could wait until the moment for lighting has come. Private organizations cannot donate anything to the UN. It must be donated by a government. We are asking Ireland or Sweden to get involved, since they are leading countries promoting the abolition of nuclear weapons.

"They have asked us to help create and organize an appropriate ceremony and to include young people and children in it," said Moore, founder of the BGA. "They also want everyone to endorse the idea of the "People_s Walk for Peace" in July 99 and the Great Millennium Peace March being organized by the Butterfly Gardeners Association.

This will be on the agenda for the Peace & Justice Commission in Berkeley next month. We will ask City council to support this project with a proclamation and send Moore as an official peace ambassador for the City to the World Peace Candle presentation. We will also ask the City to send the proclamation to all California representatives, both in the state capitol in Sacremento and in Washington, DC.

Mayor Wllie Brown of San Francisco has commended the Butterfly Gardeners Association for undertaking this task and hopes someday,when nuclear arms are abolished, we will not have the need for the Peace Candle .

A public meeting entitled Ushering in the Butterfly Era of Global Civilzation will be held at the Unitarian Fellowship in Berkeley on October 2 at 7 pm at Bonita and Cedar Streets. There will be a presentation by Moore, authors Norie Huddle and Linda Grover, Lucille Green, and David Seaborg.

Huddle will explain how her book, Butterfly, outlines a new myth to help usher in what she calls the "Butterfly Era of Global Civilization." She is a best selling author and director for the Center for New National Security. From 1979-83, Huddle interviewed over 400 people from all walks of life about their positive visions of the future and their ideas for how to make America and the world more secure. Surviving: The Best Game on Earth, published by Schocken Books, is a compendium of 30 of these interviews. One reviewer commented, "This is the first time I have weighed the issues of global survival without feeling futility or despair.

Linda Grover will inspire you to "Party for the Planet." She is the author of Tree Island and organizer of the Tree Island Millennium Gathering, a global peace conference held in Klamath Falls, Oregon. She was also the head writer for The Doctors, NBC; Search for Tomorrow, CBS; and CO-head writer of General Hospital, ABC. It was a result of her conference that led to Moore and the Tree Island group being invited to help organize the presenatation of The World Peace Candle to Kofi Annan at United Nations. The Peace Candle is a symbol of the wish of the world's peoples to abolish nuclear weapons.

Alan Moore will discuss the butterfly as a "New Symbol for the Renaissance of the Earth." He is a local activist, founder of the Butterfly Gardeners Association (BGA), and member of the Peace & Justice Commission in Berkeley. His organization has been cited for its accomplishments in raising global consciousness in books, the media, and by legislative bodies, including the City of Berkeley and Mayor Willie Brown of San Francisco.

Lucille Green will give an update on The People's Millennium Assembly to the United Nations. She is the author of Journey to a Governed World-Thru 50 Years in the Peace Movement and president of the Action Coalition for Global Change.

David Seaborg will discuss "Environmental Problems as they Relate to World Peace."

Hali Hammer and Carol Denney, local area musicians and song writers, will provide entertainment and inspiration.

Memorandum

Press Release
Global initiative

Our Word is Hope

With two powerful actions the Global Initiative will underline its demand for worldwide disarmament: On the feast of Switzerland's 150th birthday, Sept. 11-13, young artists will weld a "Peace Candle" made of weapons. One week later young people will hand the "children's torch of hope" to Swiss president Flavio Cotti in Brig, Swit-zerland.

The Swiss Peace Candle is already under construction in a workshop near Berne. A 23 year old artist is working with cannon barrels which have been given by the Swiss Military Department. 20 year old Jonas Abplanalp has organized the project in order to strengthen the peace work of the Global Initiative.

Switzerland is the first country with such a sculpture; peace organizations are already interested to build similar peace candles in other countries.

The Global Initiative asks the Swiss Government to join the "New Agenda" released in June 98 by 8 states including Ireland, Sweden and Mexico. The eight states demand total nuclear disarmament.

At the "Forum 98 Brig." Sept. 18 and 19, the Global Initiative will, in the name of civil society, hand over the "Children's Torch of Hope" to Swiss President Flavio Cotti. The torch has been brought from North America and has been in the hands of presidents, kings, the pope, the Dalai Lama and millions of individuals. At this occasion, Mr. Cotti will be asked if Switzerland is ready to join the New Agenda. Also, Mr. Cotti will be asked if he is willing to light the Swiss Peace Candle in Berne with the Torch of Hope. The meeting with Mr. Cotti will be accompanied by a little theater scene and a song performed by the committee of the Global Initiative, mainly young people.




Subj: How the butterflies work with missles and sunflowers

Letter from Alan Moore to Roland Schutzbach of The Global Initiative in
Switerland 8-12-98

Roland- I propose here a text:

We, the participants of the Tree Island Millennium Gathering, 19th of August 98, endorse the idea of presenting the World Peace Candle of the Global Initiative to the Secretary General of the UN on July 10, 1999. We are ready to help to create an appropriate ceremony and are determined to include young people and children in it. We also endorse the idea of a "People_s Walk for Peace" in July 99 (and your project-The Great Millennium Peace March) and try our best to help to organise it.


Alan- I love it. I'll do just that. Let's work media together in the future. They are slow to respond to peace and humanitarian issues here in the USA, hence the need for the butterfly approach and initiative. The media is much more interested in Monica Lewinsky and Clinton's anatomical history.

Did you think I was not in favor of total nuclear abolition? Even Edward Teller knows that Mad is mad, a friend told me so.

So here's a good story for you that may provide a clue The butterflies seem to be working wonders for me these days that makes me believe that the universe has its own mind. All we need to do is listen.

A woman whom I recently met was working on a graphic of a sunflower coming out of a missle with butterflies spiraling around the stem. It is a modification of the Abolition 2000 design. She got this idea from a fluttery butterfly messenger.

She and a friend were outside painting an Abolition 2000 banner for a protest when suddenly a butterfly paid them a surprise visit. It spiraled around and then landed on her friend. They were really delighted and were admiring their visitor for some time until it flew away just as suddenly as it had appeared. It was soon to return yet another time, now gently coming to rest on the banner they were working on. In a flash she had the idea to spiral the butterflies around the abolition 2000 sunflower. She says the butterflies represent the transformation from missles to sunflowers.

What is especially wonderful about this is that for some time I had been concerned if the Abolition 2000 people would really appreciate the symbol of the butterfly. How could butterflies and sunflowers work together I thought. They already have such a beautiful symbol. That butterfly not only solved the problem, but was responsible for bringing the two of us together in the first place. They are so magical. They always seem to answer my prayers. May peace prevail on Earth. That is my prayer. Are you listening little ones?

Would anyone be interested in designing and printing bumper stickers with a butterfly and missle graphic that says Butterflies Not Bombs

Norie Huddle

Norie Huddle is a published author of five books (two more in the works) and numerous articles, a professional interviewer, a popular and highly respected public speaker and an organizational and creative consultant to private industry, government and academia. She is the Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Center for New National Security, a nonprofit corporation established in Washington, D.C. in 1979.

Huddle is actively committed to designing and supporting projects in peacemaking on a local to global scale. In the early 1960s, she was an exchange student in Italy for a year, under the auspices of the American Field Service. Since her graduation from Brown University (1966), she has been establishing a network of cooperative working relationships with government officials, leaders in private industry, the media and academia, and creative strategists and problem-solvers around the world.

In her endeavors as a "peacemaker," Huddle has lived and traveled abroad extensively. A former Peace Corps Volunteer from Colombia, South America, Huddle worked for two years at the community level, designing and implementing training programs for women. Huddle lived in Japan for four years while she researched and wrote, with Michael Reich, Island of Dreams: Environmental Crisis in Japan. She worked closely with Japanese environmental and consumer groups, and helped organize the nonpartisan group, "Japan Plus 20." to look at long range social, political and environmental issues and trends in Japan and Southeast Asia. Huddle has also visited the Soviet Union frequently, to attend conferences and conduct interviews with a wide range of Soviet citizens concerning their perspectives on national and global security, and to meet with Soviet entrepreneurs and design joint ventures.

A lifelong student of America and the American people, Huddle has also traveled throughout the United States. In 1977, she wrote Travels with Hope, the account of "Project America 1976," a crosscountry bicycle trip which she organized upon her return from Japan in 1975. Project America involved a dozen Americans and Japanese who spent nine months bicycling across the United States from Santa Barbara to Philadelphia, during the American Bicentennial. It was during this time that Huddle began asking Americans about their lives and work, their hopes and ideas for creating a positive future.

>From 1979-83, Huddle interviewed over 400 people from all walks of life about their positive visions of the future and their ideas for how to make America and the world more secure. Surviving: The Best Game on Earth, published by Schocken Books, is a compendium of 30 of these interviews. It has been widely reviewed and well received. One reviewer commented, "This is the first time I have weighed the issues of global survival without feeling futility or despair. Instead, reading this collection of interviews on the subject has been an inspiring look at the power of individual effort. If this book, and others like it, were introduced into the curricula of school systems worldwide, a shift toward more planetary cooperation might well occur." Library Journal selected Surviving as one of the top 100 books in the United States in the area of science and technology (1984); Surviving also was on the New York Time's longer bestseller list.

Creative cooperation is the key to Norie Huddle's success as she engages with individuals, groups and organizations in alliances to forward their work and create new agendas in the pursuit of personal and global excellence. Huddle conducts seminars in teambuilding, problem-solving, communications skills, values and goals clarification, productive relationship skills and stress management. She employs state-of-the-art video feedback and learning techniques. She teaches the interdisciplinary KEEPRAH Holistic Approach to Community Development, mindmapping, goal setting, values clarification,
strategic planning, leadership training, personal and group dynamics, creative problem solving and designing and facilitating meetings.

She is a warm, humorous and genuine individual who inspires her audiences with her enthusiasm, intelligence and
determination to contribute to the wellbeing of all. She gives presentations in a variety of languages including Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Italian.
>From 1988-1992, Huddle was the Vice President of Special Projects and a Board Member of Journal Graphics, Inc., a privately held Denver- and New York-based corporation which is the nation's largest producer of television transcripts. She helped JG develop a variety of new information products and reposition itself in the marketplace, represented JG at trade shows, helped negotiate contracts with clients, and assisted with employee and client relations. In 1987-1988, Huddle helped Journal Graphics negotiate (in Russian) a major deal involving Vneshtorghizdat (USSR) and Rank Xerox (England).

In March of 1990, Huddle set up Huddle Books as the publishing division of CNNS, for the purpose of publishing future works related to national and global security. On Earth Day 1990, she published her fourth book, Butterfly, a "tiny tale of great transformation" which sets forth a global myth for our times. Butterfly is beautifully illustrated by artist Charlene Madland. In June of 1991, Huddle Books published Huggles, an environmental coloring book for children, also written by Huddle and illustrated by Madland. Huddle is

Huddle began an eight-year project to conduct a Global Oral History on video, launching this at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Brazil, in June of 1992. In preparation for this, she conduced similar interviews with Ministers of the Environment from the Carribbean region at a conference sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency in Puerto Rico (March, 1992) and again with top environmental managers from around the world at an EPA-sponsored conference in Vienna (August, 1992).

In August of 1993, Huddle bought 12 acres of land in a beautiful part of West Virginia. She has designed and been building her own house, with the help of neighbors and friends. She continues to maintain an active consulting and writing schedule, as she builds and gardens.

Alan Moore

Moore is head of the Butterfly Gardeners' Association, a Berkeley-based group that has sponsored such events throughout the United States and wants butterflies and rainbows to become leading symbols for millennium activities around the world. He has been invited to and released butterflies at the United Nations Earth Summit +5, the World Peace Festival, Woodstock 97, the Bioneers conference in San Francisco, and at numerous events and festivals throughout the world. He has coordinated simultaneous butterfly releases for Hiroshima-Nagaski Observances in cities such as Washington, DC on the Mall, Baltimore at John Hopkin University, New York City at the Buddhist Temple, and
Allentown, his old home town, at Cedar Crest College.

The BGA events have been covered by many local, national and international newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media in the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Austria and Sweden. This includes the LA Times, CNN, NBC, BBC, WTN(World Television Network), and Der Spiegel. Other members of his organization have been covered in the New York Times, the San Francisco Examiner, the New York Times, People Magazine, Time Magazine, and countless others. Many of his board members are published writers whose books have made the New York Times best seller list.

He has worked with numerous organizations to make butterfly gardening and launching a part of their activities, and has worked his program into schools, women's shelters, hospitals, hospices, and prisons. As a member of the Peace & Justice Committee in Berkeley, he has worked on such issues as disarmament, nuclear proliferation, poverty, homelessness, human rights, and social and environmental justice.

Moore has found the butterfly to be a wonderful symbol for promoting world peace and environmental sustainability. By making such things as butterflies and rainbows symbols for the Millennium and global cooperation, every butterfly that goes by or rainbow in the sky becomes a messenger of peace, love, and humility. "I can't think of a more beautiful or effective way to arouse global consciousness, " he says.

He has taught thousands of children to raise butterflies in the classroom for releases at Earth Day and other festivals, the largest of which launched 2000 winged angels to the heavens. Festivals broke attendance records when butterflies highlighted the closing ceremonies. He plans to launch at least 10,000 butterflies at just one Earth Day location next year, the Concord Pavilion in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Earth Day Network has spread the idea around the world.

The success of his "Butterfly Initiative'" is also helping to bring together a coalition of environmental, peace, faith, spiritual, and civic groups to organize a Great Millennium Peace Caravan for the summer of 1999. The themes will be Transformation Through Forgiveness and Earth Day Every Day. "We will focus on creating a sustainable and peaceful world through personal and planetary transformation," says Moore. The caravan will consist of artists, musicians, educators, muralists, sculptors, story tellers, thespians,
gardeners, dancers, lecturers, activists, futurists, global visionaries, and authors. Protect All Life Forms will lend the world's largest sculpture, a forty foot whale carved out of a salvaged redwood tree, to the entourage. We will celebrate the Earth's biological and cultural diversity as we visit social justice, environmental and peace festivals across the country. The 30th Woodstock Anniversary and Festival will be a major destination, as well as the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Observance in Washington, DC and the World Peace Festival in Armenia New York. He is also collaborating with other groups to make the summer of 99 a "Global Affair."


A New Symbol for the Renaissance of the Earth

This June 26, 1997, at the UN in New York, on the occasion of the coming together of heads of state from around the world assembling to reassess the progress made since the first Earth Summit, there was a release of butterflies under the tutelage of Alan Moore of the Butterfly Gardeners Association. For the first time, under the watching eyes of the media and the people of the world, this most exquisite yet fragile creature was used to embody the new awareness of the exquisite yet so fragile beauty of our beloved planet Earth. The environmental awareness which has been one of the hallmarks of the end of
this century heralds one of the most far reaching changes ever observed as we approach a new millennium rich with untold opportunities for peace on Earth and a better life for countless people, but also fraught with potentially disastrous unbalances in the world's overtaxed ecosystems. Hopes mixed with a healthy dose of skepticism coexist in everyone_s mind with the inner desire to see our political leaders tackle the urgent task of reallocating the resources and creativity, wasted during the fruitless and now bygone era of armed confrontation, to help create the conditions for a new era of cooperation and fair sharing of the bounties of nature. But everyone will need to cooperate, each individual, the business community, the whole world, and not just the politicians, for such a new world to be. That_s what the butterflies can help bring about.

So not only is this release of butterflies signaled the beginning of a new chapter of human evolution and the dawn of an era of peaceful coexistence within the human community and with the entire community of Life on Earth, but it also marked the birth of a new awareness for our entire species, the awareness of our unity as a single collective entity of living beings, all co-responsible to co-create a new world of bountiful abundance for all, a world made free of polluting technologies and destructive harvesting methods A world where Peace will not mean the short moment of silence before the next explosion of violence, but a permanent state of mind permeating all people and all their activities. The emerging reality of our global human family of Love, all living in Peace and Harmony, will soon be etched in our collective consciousness by a memorable event, at the turn of this century into a new millennium ¡ the Great Gathering of all the tribes, peoples and cultures of this world ¡ and the butterfly as a symbol of global and personal
transformation will soon be recognized as a portent and messenger for this new era, now just about to begin... the Earth Renaissance, the dawn of a new age.

ACTION COALITION for GLOBAL CHANGE

SAN FRANCISCO - In response to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's call for a Millennium Peoples Assembly, on June 20-21, 1998 the pilot People's Assembly began plans for a worldwide campaign to give people a new voice toward solving global problems and creating a positive future. The goal is to democratize the United Nations by increasing citizen input and decision-making on issues that affect all people.

The People's Assembly (PA) meetings, sponsored by the Action Coalition for Global Change (ACGC), attracted more participants than expected, according to organizer Dr. Lucile Green. She noted that of the over 120 people attending, there were a number who came from other counries such as Ethiopia, India, China, Japan, and Samoa. Activists from New York, Los Angeles, Arizona, Hawaii.... as well as organizers from the San Francisco Bay Area were also present.

Consensus was reached on the desirability of some form of People's Assembly at the UN; although details of such a body in terms of representation and election methods, as well as degree of input and decision-making power, were left open for future PA dialogue. Some activists prefer a Permanent People's Assembly with legislative (law-making) authority, to transform the UN in order best to represent the world public interest. Others see the PA as a forum to provide grassroots input to the UN, perhaps through nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

It was agreed to work with the Millennium People's Assembly Network (MPAN) consisting of civil society and NGOs to provide a people's forum and companion People's Assembly to the UN General Assembly's Millennium meetings per UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's suggestion. Developments can be tracked by participating in the MPAN ListServ (Subscribe by sending an email message to majordomo@undp.org with the one line message: subscribe passem.); or through the MPAN web site, http://www.netreaction.com/mpan, which will be developed into a Virtual People's Assembly.

It was agreed to support and encourage a series of worldwide meetings leading up to the year 2000 millennium events at the UN, and the formation of a Young General Assembly (YGA) at the United Nations, as presented by Brenda Van Fosson and Damon Namvar -- high school members of the Executive Committee that creates the plans for the global activities and sets the policies for PEACEWAYS. Acknowledging the contributions that youth can bring to the global community and the vital role that children must have in deciding and determining the future, this YGA will be a platform for the voices of the
children of the earth.

Plans were announced by numerous attendees for future PA events:

* PA's may be created across the USA as part of the the Great Millennium Peace March (Summer, 1999 - according to activist Alan Moore who heads the Butterfly Gardeners Association).

* Samoan Parliament member Le Tagaloa Pita - PA meetings for Asian Pacific nations in late 1999;

* Prof. Tatsuro Kunugi of the UN University of Tokyo - a PA meeting in Toronto in November 1999;

* Dr. Rashmi Mayur of Global Futures Network - a PA in Bombay, India;

* Mary Granfours (and Catherine Margerin) of Milenio - a New Year's 2000 Peace Festival and Convocation at the University for Peace in Costa Rica, including a Global Forum for the Practice of Peace.

The UPA approved delegates to attend the Hague Appeal for Peace meeting (May, 1999), being initially coordinated by representatives of the World Federalist Movement (Director Bill Pace), International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms, International Peace Bureau, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (see web site: http://www.haguepeace.org). At that meeting the ACGC will be sponsoring another PA. For information on participating in planning for that PA meeting, or being part of the PA delegation (at your own expense), or to obtain guidelines for creating a PA in your own community, contact Dr. Lucile Green, lucigreen@aol.com.
