3,000 Days for Peace

21 September 2026 – 7 December 2034

Peace advocacy too often appears only after a crisis and disappears when the headlines move on. We are committing to 3,000 consecutive days of keeping peace visible, practical and passed between generations — beginning on the International Day of Peace, 21 September 2026.

This is a promise of continuity, not a rigid eight-year plan. Evidence, safety, community demand and partnerships — not ambition alone — will decide how fast we grow.
