Happy Peace Day!
Today, we begin the 365-day countdown towards Global Truce 2012 - the biggest call for peace the world has ever seen. I’m at the O2 Arena where we will be celebrating Peace Day 2011 with a concert to officially launch the countdown.
It’s amazing to think that all around the world people will be commemorating Peace Day. And it's everyone's legacy. We want to tell individuals that the power to change the world lies in their hands - I don't believe in cynicism, in apathy; it doesn't get you anywhere - cynicism kills potential and possibility. And if we're not fighting for a better world, what's the point?
For Peace Day 2012, we are inviting all sectors of society to observe a day of Global Truce – individuals in every country, at home, in schools, in the workplace, in their local communities, and those engaged in armed conflict on the international stage. Everyone has a role to play. We want Global Truce 2012 to be the largest reduction in global violence in recorded history, both domestically and internationally.
The Global Truce 2012 campaign will only work if the people get behind it – if you get behind it. Please join the campaign via our website and ask as many people as you can to do the same.
Individuals can make a difference. By working together there will be Peace One Day.
In peace,
Jeremy
