UN International Day of Peace – Boston Commemoration

2024 UN International Day of Peace Boston: "<a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace" target="_blank">Cultivating A Culture of Peace</a>" &nbsp; Sunday, September&nbsp;22, 2024,&nbsp;2 - 4pm ET The Cathedral Church of St. Paul (138 Tremont Street, Boston) Park Street MBTA Station FREE <a href="https://www.idpboston.org/home" target="_blank">Click here for more info</a> &nbsp; We have planned and organized the Boston area celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace each year since 2010. This year's theme is "<a href="https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace" target="_blank">Cultivating a Culture of Peace</a>." "In a world with rising geopolitical tensions and protracted conflicts, there has never been a better time to remember how the UN General Assembly came together in 1999 to lay out the values needed for a culture of peace. These include: respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations." Join us for a program of music, arts, and peace education led by emcee&nbsp;Dawn Duncan,&nbsp;including&nbsp;brief presentations by peacemakers such as&nbsp;Sara Ting,&nbsp;Joanna Don,&nbsp;Karilyn Crockett,&nbsp;Zakiya Alake,&nbsp;Ron Bell,&nbsp;Leigh&nbsp;Meunier&nbsp;and&nbsp;Rev. Vernon Walker&nbsp;regarding their work, with artistic performances by&nbsp;Cellist Miranda Henne,&nbsp;Singer Lina Marcela Sarmiento Tellez, and&nbsp;Spoken Word Poet Zenaida Peterson. It will conclude with a tribute to longtime organizer,&nbsp;Ian Harrington, from our friend,&nbsp;John Bach, and a reading of the list of recent local victims of violence. We will then walk to the nearby Garden of Peace to pray for peace among stones engraved with the names of local victims of violence. Co-sponsored alongside&nbsp;<a href="https://fmcquaker.org/" target="_blank">Friends Meeting at Cambridge</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mcnaa.org/" target="_blank">Massachusetts Center for Native American Awareness</a>, with a grant from the&nbsp;<a href="https://massculturalcouncil.org/" target="_blank">Mass Cultural Council</a>.
