We Are Not Afraid
It’s good to see people banding together in a peaceful manner to let the terrorists know that we will not be controlled by fear of them.
Web site shows defiance to bombers:
“They were expressing great strength that they wouldn’t let these things worry Londoners,” Dennen told CNN.com. “I thought it would be great to have a place where people could share these feelings.”
And within two hours We’re Not Afraid was born, asking for images and messages from the worldwide online community to show that terrorists would not change the way people lived their lives.
Two hours after that, “we became inundated,” Dennen said. “We weren’t prepared for it … the images were just coming in, people were finding the site and posting comments.”
The photos show people, pets or London landmarks, all with the added message that “We are not afraid.”
By 10 a.m. Monday, four days after the blasts, about 3,500 images had been submitted and more then 1,000 posted on the site. Dennen said some 250,000 people had visited the site.
