Peace Day
GEORGIA

Join the worldwide movement to create a Global Ceasefire and Day of Peace & Nonviolence in our homes, our communities and between nations on September 21, The International Day of Peace. Peace Day has been a focal point for community-uniting and peace-inspiring events since its inception in 1981. This year will be the greatest Peace Day, yet. Together we can create a more peaceful, just and sustainable world, one heart, one family, one community at a time. Join the Countdown To Peace and help inspire your community to celebrate humanity's first day of peace, ever.
