Happy World Unity Day and Veterans Day!
World Unity Day is an as-yet unofficial day dedicated to celebrating “a spirit of unity” that “must be cultivated within the hearts of all nations and people” in order to forge a collective, successful future. You can sign the petition asking the U.N. to officially recognize World Unity Day!
Celebrated on the same day as Veterans day, Unity Day encourages greater cooperation so that the sacrifices of veterans are less necessary in the future. Video after the break!
In support of World Unity Day and remembrance of U.S. Veterans Day, listen to the inspiring “Ring the Bells,” performed by Melissa Etheridge and Salman Ahmad.
Last year, we expressed our gratitude to both artists for dedicating the music video for “Ring the Bells” to Search for Common Ground. The song’s message—a call for peace and hope in a world often plagued by violence and chaos—is poignant, and a reminder of why we work toward finding common ground.
