First Fast - Fast for Life
Wherever you are on the First Day of Every Month
 
It doesn't matter where you are! You are all invited to join in a Fast for Life on the first day of each month.
Just whatever you are doing (besides eating) fast to raise awareness about the death penalty!
If a strict fast is difficult or impossible for you, just do juices or avoid animal products or don't eat chocolate!
Then, simply tell folks around you what you are doing and why.
This is an easy as well as spiritual and healthy way to spread some hope and educate at the same time!
