heal the last stand | 19.09.2009 16:21
On Monday Afternoon 21st September from 12:30pm the people of Wrexham will gather on the Library field to support a day of Global Ceasefire and Non-Violence.
"By focusing on peace, we will create more peace". It is time to recognize this as a fact, It's not rocket science.
The People of Wrexham Support - World Peace Day
To accompany this historical gathering a local group of musicians have been asked to perform their unique music on the Library field Bandstand.
This year, the President of the Global Alliance of Ministries and Departments for Peace asked Wrexham Band 'Heal the Last Stand' to travel to Costa Rica to perform a peace concert for the Global Peace Summit. Amidst controversy, red tape and a desire to strengthen the world around them, they opted to stay here and have been instrumental in raising awareness of Peace in their home town. "Peace really does start with a focus on your own values and then it can ripple out into your community" says Joey Dickenson spokes person for the band... "This day is a great opportunity to say very little and yet make so much happen"
To some it's just a single day, but to aid workers, the 21st September is a 24 hour-long platform for 'life saving activities around the world' and an opportunity for individuals - particularly young people - to become involved in the peace process. 21st of September is the UN International Day of Peace, a day of Global ceasefire and non-violence: Peace Day
In September 2001 the British and Costa Rican Governments put this idea to the UN General Assembly, and the first ever Peace Day with a fixed Calendar date was created. This was unanimously adopted by every member state of the United Nations.
"My experience of conflict is that those who are involved in it long for even a day of peace. To have a day of cessation of violence, that to me is an idea whose time has come." Mary Robinson, then UN High Commissioner for human rights.
So ... Butchers, Bakers, Candlestick Makers, Young, Old, Rich, Poor, Movers, Shakers, Teachers, Children ... you reading this now ... This is the greatest opportunity ever presented for every-one to become involved in the peace process, and all that people are asked to do is show up, bring a picnic if you like, whatever brings you a smile. The vibrations will do the rest. It's our turn to say what makes the news. By showing up, we will bring peace into the centre of the ring for a time, let Peace be the focus and we will see what can happen. Please don't wait for the government, the people hold the power, always have and always will. See you on monday.
