STAND for Peace

STAND for Peace. On September 20th, we recognize the International Day of Peace by building community and celebrating its voices. We will honor the challenges being faced our friends and neighbors by listening to their stories, and we will celebrate the work we can do as a community that wants better for our children with music, snow-cones, storytelling, and bubbles!

While we consider the “big” work to be done here in Georgia and across the US, we will meet and recognize those doing good work here in the greater Atlanta area and learn how to plug in. STAND is honored to welcome the Afghan-American Alliance of Georgia, the Coalition for a Diverse DeKalb, DAMES Doing Good, and other partners doing good work right now around Atlanta.

STAND is excited to collaborate with StoryMuse in ensuring the voices of the people are heard, and will welcome 285 South, a media partner dedicated to projecting the often overlooked voices of Atlanta’s immigrant community out into the world.

Come celebrate our community – our whole community – with STAND. Help us build the community we want to live in, and let’s show our children how it’s done. Please tell us you’re coming here: https://forms.gle/zkmjkX4UnwhjsdfWA
