This event coincides with multiple events happening in the US and around the world, including India, Malawi, Nairobi, Pakistan, Palestine (Bethlehem), and Uganda.

We invite you to join us on a “virtual march” for peace and unity among people of every faith, philosophy, and creed.

  • We are united in the rejection of hatred and oppression in the name of religion and in support of the freedom of worship or belief.

  • We are united to stamp out bigotry and violence of every sort, and in support of the right to live peacefully.

  • We are also united in affirming the role that the interfaith community must play in safeguarding the health and safety of all people.

Join us, along with dozens of partner marches and events around the world, for an event you won’t forget. With many different faiths and musical presentations, learn how our differences make us beautiful and unite us.

This event is FREE, and donations are gratefully accepted (and tax deductible).
