The Rally of Hope series aims to build a unified world of lasting peace around the core ideals of interdependence (mutual respect, cooperation, and recognition of our common humanity),

mutual prosperity (reduction of extreme poverty and commitment to human flourishing), and universal values (the faith-based common ground that we share across boundaries of nationality, religion, culture, and race.)

“There is more that unites us than divides us as a human family,” said Dr. Thomas G. Walsh, chairman of the Universal Peace Federation.

Since August 2020, there have been four previous Rallies of Hope, each of which drew more than ten million online participants from around the world. Globally renowned leaders addressed a range of issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, security issues, environmental degradation, poverty and inequality, and ethnic and race relations. In each Rally of Hope, UPF co-founder Dr. Moon has highlighted the emergence of a global “holy community” that recognizes the existence of our Creator as the motivating source of life, growth, and healing.

“In their own ways and in their own words, all Rally of Hope speakers expressed hope that humankind, as one family under God, has the full potential to resolve all of these issues by working together peacefully and collaboratively,” said Dr. Walsh.

Join this free event to make a lasting impact in your communities and families that will ripple throughout the world. The Rally of Hope will offer translation in numerous languages. Register at http://www.rallyofhope.us
