- Cease Fire and Violence Everywhere, killing fields, schools, streets, homes…everywhere
- Host your own moment of silence at noon in your local time zone on September 21, and honor the day’s request: Plant a Peace Pole. Participate in human peace signs, prayer, sound healing, community cleanups, or intergenerational kindness actions
