ACT FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

14 days until the

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE SEPTEMBER 21

PEACE DAY PHILLY 2025

Sept. 19 - 25

Join the world on Peace Day wherever you are

on September 21


"From peacekeepers on the front lines of conflict, to community members, to students in classrooms around the world, everyone has a role to play. We must speak up against violence, hate, discrimination, and inequality; practice respect; and embrace the diversity of our world.


There are many ways to act right now. Spark conversations about the urgent need for understanding, non-violence, and disarmament. Volunteer in your community, listen to voices different from your own, challenge discriminatory language in your workplace, report bullying both online and off-line, and take the time to verify facts before you post on social media.


You can also speak up with your choices, opting to purchase items from socially-conscious brands, or donating to organizations that promote sustainability and human rights...


All of our efforts are connected. From UN-supported health clinics to youth-led advocacy for the rights of the world’s most vulnerable, and from debates in parliaments to debates in history class, we can all do our part to build a more peaceful world.

Let our actions for peace resonate louder than words."
