New
Year's is the perfect
opportunity for those
of us who wish for peace
on earth to make a resolution
to try to do our best
to work to create a better
world during the coming
year. It's also the perfect
occasion to hold an event
that will spread hope
for our shared wish of
a more peaceful, just
and sustainable world.
People will be celebrating
anyway, and making resolutions
about things they want
to change about themselves
in the coming year. Why
not make it celebration
with a purpose, and share
a resolution that will
help unite our local,
national and global communities!
This
is the very idea behind
two January 1 events -
One Day In Peace
and Global Family Day.
A global campaign for
One Day In Peace on January
1, 2000 helped inspire
a UN Resolution and a
joint United States Congressional
Resolution, inviting January
1 to be celebrated every
year as a day of peace
and sharing. If we can
live for one day in peace,
then we can work together
to make peace last, one
day at a time.
The
day has also come to be
known as Global Family
Day - a day for peace
and sharing. Communities
around the world come
together for a shared
meal on January 1 and
talk about how they can
help to create a better
world. What can you do
to help create humanity's
first day of peace, ever?
