FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EARTH/WATER DAY: LOVE YOUR MOTHER – LIVE CONCERT BROADCAST & EXHIBITION TAKES OVER TIMES SQUARE APRIL 22

New York, NY – April 15, 2026 – The 24th Annual Earth & Water Day “Love Your Mother” FREE Concert & Exhibition returns to Times Square (46th–47th Streets) on April 22, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM EST, uniting global voices for a powerful World Clean Energy Broadcast dedicated to peace, sustainability, and future generations.

Produced by Good News Corporation (GNC), a nonprofit humanitarian broadcaster founded in 2002, in collaboration with the Office of the New York City Comptroller Mark Levine, OMMM, and the Founders of Earth Day, this landmark event continues a decades-long tradition of inspiring environmental action through music, unity, and global participation.

Founder Reverend Paul Sladkus, All Faiths and Spiritual, who has led International Day of Peace and Earth Day concerts for over 20 years, shared: “We have been honored to work with icons like Jane Goodall and Pete Seeger. Today, we celebrate that same mission—peace, love, and hope—carried forward by future generations and millions worldwide. This is a historic nonprofit broadcast at a time when the world needs unity more than ever.”

This year’s program includes special tributes to Dr. Jane Goodall (accepted by the Jane Goodall Institute) and Pete Seeger (accepted by NYC Friends of Clearwater), as well as emerging youth voices representing the future, including Hudson Henley, son of Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman, in the movie Song Sung Blue.  Featured participants include virtual messages from global icons and UN Peace Messengers, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Stevie Wonder, and UNICEF’S Shakira, alongside Indigenous leaders, a Nobel Prize recipient, and segments from Broadway productions including Pinkalicious and AMAZE.

The five-hour LIVE broadcast will stream globally via YouTube at www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast and through the world’s largest environmental broadcaster, We Don’t Have Time. Media outlets and partners may request a free broadcast feed.

In addition to live performances and speakers, the event features an interactive exhibition spotlighting humanitarian initiatives.

Supporting partners will also highlight global water initiatives, including efforts in Tanzania and Uganda, and will include participation from Pat Boone’s nonprofit initiatives.

The post GoodNewsLetter: Dr. Jane Goodall, Pete Seeger, Future Generations Hudson Hensley/Mia Narciso ALL Who Love Our Mother Earth. Earth Day, April 22, 2026 Times Square appeared first on Good News!.

In a conversation as uplifting as his music, Randy Edelman graced the microphone of the Good News Podcast hosted by the brilliant Paul  Sladkus — delivering an episode that feels like a breath of fresh inspiration.

Recorded with warmth, wit, and heartfelt insight, Randy shared stories from his remarkable career as a composer — from writing unforgettable themes for beloved films to the deeper personal reflections that shape his art. With each answer, he radiated the same generosity and joy that have made his music resonate across generations.

Paul guided the dialogue with thoughtful curiosity, creating space for Randy to open up about the power of creativity, the bridges between emotion and melody, and the moments that define a life in music. The conversation was candid yet poetic, inviting listeners into a rare glimpse of the man behind the scores.

Listeners will find themselves smiling, nodding, and ultimately walking away with something rare: true Good News — a reminder of how beauty, perseverance, and heartfelt expression can uplift the world.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Randy’s genius for the first time, this episode is an inspiring journey — one that echoes long after the final note.

Tune in, turn up the volume, and let the good news play on.

The endowment empowers a new generation of professionals committed to values-driven leadership at this pivotal moment in world affairs

New York, NY – January 16, 2025 – Today, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs announced a transformational gift from the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education to establish the “Uehiro–Carnegie Endowment for Future Generations.” The Uehiro Foundation gift builds upon the Council’s recent project to establish its Global Ethics Hub in New York City. The new Uehiro endowment will create novel educational programs and global-scale engagements for next generation leaders. This vital work furthers Carnegie Council’s over 100-year legacy of empowering ethical reflection, analysis, and action.

“Humanity has never been more connected yet more fractured,” said Joel Rosenthal, president of Carnegie Council. “New ethical issues are emerging rapidly, fed by intense polarization, the development of novel technologies, and concern for the core principles of democracy and international cooperation. We are grateful to the Uehiro Foundation for this extraordinary gift, which will inspire a new generation to use the power of ethics to build a better world.”

The grant enables a renewal of Andrew Carnegie’s vision for mobilizing the world’s intellectual and financial resources in the service of peace, education, and moral leadership—a vision that has guided Carnegie Council for more than a century. Such work is essential today as an old order fades, and a new order is struggling to emerge.

In response to this moment, the endowment will focus on applied ethics as a tool for the professional and personal development of next generation leaders. Together, Carnegie Council and Uehiro Foundation fellows, staff, and global partners will provide access to ethics-focused education and programming to assess key moral questions, navigate difficult decisions and tradeoffs, and examine values and interests in an interconnected world.

The endowed partnership builds on a twenty-year collaboration between Carnegie Council and the Uehiro Foundation dedicated to international convenings, ethics, and education. The following statement released today by the Uehiro Foundation touched on the deep history between the two organizations: “Over the years, we have become genuine partners as ‘the voice of ethics’ in international affairs. The Uehiro-Carnegie Endowment for Future Generations will enable us to work together more effectively, with united strength, in pursuit of our common mission.”

About Uehiro Foundation: 

Founded in 1987, the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education is a nonprofit foundation committed to the advancement of moral education in Japan. The Uehiro Foundation is a benefactor of the Uehiro Oxford Institute at the University of Oxford and the Uehiro Center for Advancement of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa. The Uehiro Foundation has also supported ethical research at higher education institutions in Japan such as University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Tohoku University, and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.

About Carnegie Council:

Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs is an independent 501(c) (3) nonprofit institution that works to empower ethics globally by identifying and addressing the most critical ethical issues of today and tomorrow. Founded by Andrew Carnegie over a century ago, Carnegie Council sets the global ethical agenda by convening leading experts, building active communities, producing agenda-setting resources, and catalyzing the creation of ethical solutions to global problems. For more information, please visit CarnegieCouncil.org, subscribe to the Carnegie Ethics Newsletter, and engage with us on social media.
