Light A Million Candles

... Received an email recently...
The innocent victims of Internet child abuse cannot speak for themselves.
But you can.
With your help, we can eradicate this evil trade.
We do not need your money. We need you to light a candle of support.
We're aiming to light at least One Million Candles by December 31, 2006. This petition will be used to encourage governments, politicians, financial institutions, payment organisations, Internet service providers, technology companies and law enforcement agencies to eradicate the commercial viability of online child abuse. They have the power to work together. You have the power to get them to take action.
Please light your candle at lightamillioncandles.com or send an email of support to light@lightamillioncandles.com

‘Light a million candles’ is an awareness campaign developed by a group of volunteers in Singapore brought together by Standard Chartered Bank, in support of the work of the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography.

In March 2006, 18 of the world’s most prominent financial institutions and Internet industry leaders joined with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and its sister organization, the International Center for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) in the fight against Internet child pornography. The Coalition includes leading banks, credit card companies, third party payment companies and Internet services companies.

A volunteer has begun an effort in Asia to raise private funds to support this effort through a global campaign to eradicate child pornography. His effort can be visited at www.race4innocence.org
