on September 2, 2018

Washington, DC, August 09, 2018 --(PR.com)-- A Global Peace and Unity Rally,
https://www.UnityPeacePrayer.com, to create a climate of tolerance, inclusivity and kindness announced.
The Rally will be held at the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding park areas on the National Mall in
Washington, DC on September 2, 2018. Organizers expect thousands to gather in celebration of our
shared ideals, to learn about each other's spiritual beliefs and to create an uplifting energy of peaceful
unity.

Peace Builders and Spiritual Thought Leaders from many traditions will participate in this effort to
increase tolerance and respect through greater knowledge and understanding of the many spiritual
traditions. Speakers include leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and the Baha'i Faith as well as
nondenominational spiritual traditions. The event promotes peace building amongst diverse communities
as well as inspiration and joy.

The current climate in the United States is so divisive that it's described as “Culture Wars.” Americans
have increasingly negative views of people from an opposing political party, according to New Pew
Research Center

ml Surveys.

Keynote Speaker David T. Ives, Executive Director Emeritus of the Albert Schweitzer Institute and 2016
Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, states, “I am pleased to represent the ideas and thoughts of the 1952 Nobel
Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Albert Schweitzer at this day of unity, peace and prayer, especially his desire to
see all human beings everywhere viewed as an absolutely awesome human being. To have that sense of
amazement towards all humans is something for which we all must strive. We must celebrate the richness
of cultural difference instead of letting those differences divide us.”

Attendance at “Day of Unity, Peace and Prayer” at the National Mall is free. The festivities begin at 10
AM and the event concludes at 5 PM on September 2, 2018.
