Celebration of International Day of Peace Day

The community is invited to join the Peace Coalition of Monterey County in celebration of International Day of Peace, (which is officially September 21).  Participants are asked to bring a potluck dish to share.  The event will feature live music by local talent.  

The 2018 U.N. Peace Day Theme is “The Right to Peace – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70.”  Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21st.  The holiday was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace within and among all nations and peoples.  In 2001, the General Assembly unanimously voted to designate the day as a period of non-violence and cease-fire, and a focus on peace education worldwide as the means for bringing about a culture of peace.
