We, The World is coordinating 11 Days of Global Unity, a convergence of local and global consciousness-raising events that will take place in over 100 cities around the world from Sept. 11-21, 2004. Our 11 Days Honorary Co-Chairs include Jane Goodall, Irene Khan (Secretary General, Amnesty International), Marianne Williamson, Hazel Henderson, Ervin Laszlo, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Robert Thurman, Riane Eisler and others. We are working with Amnesty International, the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots Youth Program, Dennis Kucinich's Department of Peace Initiative, the Earth Charter Initiative and many other partner organizations.
11 Days consists of festivals, concerts, broadcasts, coordinated civic actions, voter registration, and other activities designed to maximize public awareness of the challenges humanity now faces, and to celebrate and facilitate involvement in the solutions. As part of our Service Activities component, we will provide ways 11 Days audiences and participants can get directly involved with Amnesty International and our other partner organizations.
This will be the first in an ongoing series of global gatherings that inspire, inform and involve increasingly large numbers of people in creating a world that works for all!
11 Days has the potential to have a major impact on the public beyond the progressive communities. That's where we think progressives need to operate more. What we're doing with 11 Days can fill that gap. We can inspire, inform and then involve many of those more mainstream people who may share values of social justice and environmental sustainability but who for whatever reason won't go to a protest rally or even a conference. We can get them and their families out to a festival or a concert, (or watch it on TV), rev them up and then give them ways to take action on the spot! With the potential to broadcast to millions of people, 11 Days could make a difference in the elections.
Thank you for all the important work you are doing!
