"As
they used to say 'What if they gave a war and nobody came?' How worthwhile if
they declared a day of peace and everybody came."
~ Ed Asner |
The United
Nations
invited the world to celebrate
One Day In Peace, January 1, 2000
as the beginning of the
International Decade for the
Culture of Peace
& Nonviolence for the Children of the World!
1000 organizations
in almost 140 nations
participated in this launch for a better world...
Over 100 governments,
25 US Governors
and Hundreds of Mayors around the world
pledged their
support
One Day In Peace was included
in New Year's Celebrations across the globe
as the world PEACEFULLY greeted the Year 2000
In
December, 2000
the United States Congress
declared that every January 1
should be celebrated as
a day of
peace and sharing in the United States.
In November
2001,
the United Nations invited the world
to observe every January 1 as ONE DAY IN PEACE. In
September 2006,
the United States Congress once again affirmed
that January
1 should be celebrated as
Global Family Day: One Day of Peace & Sharing

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? For
