We know that our communities are facing new and daunting challenges both locally and globally. We commit as neighbors working together to protect safety, truth, joy, and love for all. The theme for the 29th Annual Community Peace Celebration is “Unite for Peace”, challenging each of us to pick up the mantle of the 'Peaceful Love Warriors' and continue that momentum by nurturing our streets, our neighbors, and our planet.
