On Thursday 22nd May, Avaaz.org will mount a unique creative event through the streets of central London - a 3-mile-long "human chain handshake" from the Dalai Lama at the Royal Albert Hall to the Chinese Embassy.

"Give Peace A Hand" will send a positive global message for meaningful Chinese-Tibetan dialogue before the Olympics. The Metropolitan Police has given it the green light. It'll be an inspirational moment.

But we can't do it without you.

So: if you can be in central London for at least an hour between around 4.30pm and 7pm on Thursday 22nd May, or even for the whole event, sign up below. Include your full name, email and phone number, and use the message field to say if there is someone you want to be near and to indicate the earliest time you can join us. We'll be in touch with more instructions in a couple of days!

Sign up to be part of it on 22 May:

For those who won't have a chance to attend His Holiness' public talk, you can still participate in this event organised by Avaaz and come along earlier to welcome the Dalai Lama to the Royal Albert Hall.
