Freeze frame for peace at Grand Central
United for Peace and Justice will hold a freeze frame for five minutes to promote peace with Iran today during the evening rush hour at Grand Central Terminal.
At 5:40 p.m., about 200 people wearing shirts and signs that say "Peace with Iran" plan to suddenly stop in their tracks and remain frozen for five minutes, with the hopes that the harried commuters around them will pause to absorb their message.
"Part of why we chose to do this action is that it’s something that grabs people’s attention. It’s a dramatic action that’s very simple ... and reaches people in a very visual way," said group spokesperson Leslie Kielson.
If you want to join the group, meet at 5 p.m. at Lexington and 42nd Street. At 5:30, demonstrators will fan out through the commuter crowd in the Great Hall and freeze at 5:40 p.m.
