Celebrate Peace Day
Mark your calendars peace-lovers, International Day of Peace, or Peace Day, is this September 21st. For those of you who don't know, Peace Day was established as a way to give individuals and organizations a voice for the promotion of peace around the world.
Peace Day is in it's 25th year and still growing. The world is in so much turmoil and Peace Day is a reminder to our government leaders that we want peace in the world. People need to become aware that the world we are being sold is not the absolute truth, change can come about, but everyone has to be involved! You don't have to stage a sit-in or march the streets to celebrate Peace Day. Anyone can light a candle and meditate about the meaning of peace.

CNN’s iReport, a news-oriented kind of youtube, just launched a special page for the International Day of Peace – http://www.ireport.com/dayofpeace! Just get registered and put your calls for world leaders and personal peace stories in videos, photos and texts online to everyone to see. We would love to know about what YOU think and do for peace! And if you are lucky, your story will be broadcasted by CNN.
Our TXT 4 PEACE campaign is getting bigger and bigger. We have received several hundred messages so far. Have a look at http://www.peaceday2008.org! Thanks so much for that!
Please keep sending your text messages to world leaders with the word ‘PEACE’ and then your message to 69866 (in the US only) or send an online message from www.peaceday2008.org!
