Proclamations
of Peace
Peace
Proclamations are a powerful tool to help spread awareness about the International
Day of Peace.
In
past years, Heads of State, Governors and Mayors have declared Proclamations of
Peace for the International Day of Peace, urging their citizens to observe and
celebrate Peace Day. City Councils and State Legislatures have declared Peace
Day Resolutions, too.
This
year, a major global effort is being made to ask governmental leaders on every
level to issue Proclamations and Resolutions.
In
many cases, past Peace Day Proclamations and Resolutions were obtained by individuals,
families, classes of students, and local organizations, simply by asking their
leaders to issue them.
They
may be simple to obtain, but Proclamations are a powerful tool to use to help
raise awareness about the International Day of Peace in your community. When a
Mayor or Governor issues a Proclamation it presents an opportunity to have an
event at which the Proclamation can be presented to the community. It provides
a way to get local and regional media interested and involved in the Peace Day
campaign.
When
a copy of the Proclamation is sent to InternationalDayofPeace.org and posted on
the website by geographic location, all the world can see your city, state or
nation's support, which will help inspire more communities to support Peace Day.
Your community's Proclamation, when seen together with thousands of other Proclamations
and Resolutions, will help engage national and international media, which will
grow the Peace Day campaign even further.
Asking
for a Proclamation is easy. Just write a simple letter asking your
leader to join other leaders around the world in issuing a Peace Day
Proclamation, and enclose a sample Proclamation. Once it's issued,
don't forget to send a copy to the International Day of Peace NGO
Committee (pforpeace@aol.com).
