"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.      

 

For MLK Day of Service 2014, people across the city and country honored Dr. King's legacy with a day of service. To learn more about local action for MLK Day, and year-round programs of Global Citizen, CLICK HERE

    

Peace Day - September 21

 is a worldwide day that provides an opportunity to take action - personally, locally or globally -   toward a more peaceful world. Some use the platform of Peace Day for humanitarian, justice and human rights activities, all of which are essential to building peace.  Others use it to teach/learn practical skills  for creating more peaceful interactions, or to lift up important peace related work happening year-round. Still others engage citizens in diverse peace-related activities related to education, the arts, faith, the environment, community building, intercultural dialogue and health.
