THE  FIRST EVER 100% SOLAR-POWERED CONCERT IN TIMES SQUARE FOR PEACE & ECOLOGY – POWERED BY BATTERY TOUR WITH RINGO STARR VIRTUALLY REQUESTING A MOMENT OF PEACE AT 12PM ET ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2023

PEACE LEGENDS JOIN FORCES WITH YOUNG GLOBAL INFLUENCERS IN A MOVEMENT FOR PEACE, HUMAN SECURITY, AND CLIMATE ACTION, AS TIMES SQUARE IN NEW YORK CITY PAUSES FOR PEACE.

DATE & TIME: SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 LIVE BROADCAST STARTED AT 12:00PM EDT VIA UNIFY at www.facebook.com/UNIFY and www.youtube.com/goodnewsbroadcast.  The website for the event is:  www.pausetheworldforpeace.org

On  September 21st, 2023 on the UN International Day of Peace, the 21st. Annual  Pause The World for Peace Broadcast, both in-person and global virtual audiences experienced the first ever 100% solar-powered concert in Times Square for peace and ecology, powered by multi-faceted musical artist and climate activist AY Young and his Battery Tour. Also featured is mental tranquility advocate and acclaimed singer Michel Pascal, who was joined by US Presidential Candidate, author, and activist Marianne Williamson and Myron McKinley of Earth, Wind, & Fire. As a part of the larger six-hour Peace Day event, this concert shared virtual messages from legacy peacekeepers like Ringo Starr, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Douglas, Jane Goodall, Sir Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak Chopra, Joe Dispenza, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, and Shakira. The nonprofit event producer Good News Corporation has partnered with OMMM, UNIFY, WE.net, AY Young, Battery Tour, SmartFlower, Playa Betty’s, 5 Star Diamond Award, Samsung, GM, BNP Paribas, Hugg-A Planet, New York Parks and Recreation, and Times Square Alliance.

Reverend Paul Sladkus, All Faiths, and Spiritual and Executive Producer for 21 years in Central Park, NY, Times Square, NY, and worldwide stated, “ This year’s participation exceeded our expectation to strengthen the message of International Peace, along with showing our love for MOTHER EARTH.  Here are the links for the three parts, approx. 2 hours each.  We are in negotiation for additional broadcast because Pausing the World for Peace is always needed”

 The Battery Tour’s involvement in the Pause the World for Peace event was highly intentional. On a mission to break barriers and build bridges, AY Young was appointed by the United Nations as the Global Youth Leader for the Sustainable Development Goals in 2020, Generation 17 Youth Ambassador, and SDG Champion. AY has performed over 800 concerts powered entirely by the Battery Tour’s renewable energy. “We are all outlets for change,” says the artist. And driving positive change was a major theme between Pause the World for Peace event collaborators. 

Michel Pascal led a dance meditation and musical performance, seamlessly combining the serenity of meditation, and the joy of dance, promising a unique and transformative experience. Pascal, is co-founder of OMMM which is a movement to create a positive impact on individuals and communities worldwide through the practice of meditation, music, and multimedia content. Pascal, A.K.A “The Medicine Voice,” has been performing at Carnegie Hall since 2016, while working closely with marginalized communities, including prisoners and veterans. The concert featured a bilingual meditation guided by Juliana Klinkert, an esteemed meditation teacher known for her work at the Amity Foundation and in Hispanic communities.

Young and Pascal, along with the generations they represent, continue a wave of peace work built on the foundations of champions of peace like David Gershon (led 1986 Earth Run Torch of Peace), Ben Bowler (founder of UNITY Earth bringing cease-fires for peace), his eminence Shyalpa Rinpoche (currently building Universal Peace Sanctuary at UNESCO World Heritage Site for Peace), Jonathan Granoff (World Academy of Art & Science Fellow and UN Ambassador to the Nobel Peace Laureates), and Jeremy Gilley (founder of Peace One Day with Sir Paul McCartney message). They, like others both in New York and nationally, including Michael Fitzpatrick (25-year cellist to the Dalai Lama), Rick Ulfic & Andrew Kaen (established 11 Days of Global Unity), Reverend Susana Bastarrica & James Cannings (founded Vigil for International Day of Peace), and Reverend Deborah Muldow & Fumi Johns (of May Peace Prevail on Earth with 250,000 Peace Poles worldwide), Peace Lights Peter Rogina, have dedicated their lives to empowering communities, fostering cooperation, and addressing global challenges with social innovations. Seeds planted decades ago are breaking ground as a new surge of activism takes shape in a post-pandemic society ready for collaborative action.

The Pause the World for Peace event included a special segment entitled “Peace in Action” with renowned representatives sharing the latest in major global issues, including domestic violence, school safety, human rights, human security, animal rights, climate action, and ending violence in health, politics, and religion, regardless of gender, race, or disability, promoting practical paths to a thriving life for all. A special military and police tribute for fallen heroes was featured. 

The Pause the World for Peace event, set in the Duffy Square section of Times Square, NY, is hosted by the Good News Corporation, whose founder Reverend Paul Sladkus has continued to be a leader in rallying movements for peace in action. Sladkus, who is an ordained all-faith minister, implores, “193 countries in the UN unanimously agreed to a CEASE FIRE EVERYWHERE, ACTS OF PEACE & LOVE, and WE CAN DO IT. We listened to Ringo Starr at 12:00 pm Noon ET as he requested a Worldwide Moment of Silence for PEACE, from Times Square, virtually on September 21, 2023, and we prayed to keep that moment going for peace and ecology  to last FOREVER.”

The event ran until 5:00PM EDT and aired to the world via UNIFY (received 2 billion views with the UN for Peace Day in 2017), which broadcasted the program to their combined partner audience of millions worldwide. McKinsey Co. stated that there are 1.6 billion people worldwide already aware of the International Day of Peace. Pause the World for Peace aimed to amplify the urgent need for collective action and global cooperation. Together, we stand in solidarity to promote peace, human security, and climate action for a better and brighter future for all.

Failure to walk a STRAIGHT LINE

The post Failure to walk a STRAIGHT LINE appeared first on Good News!.

If you see someone

falling behind, walk

beside them.  If you

see someone being

ignored, find a way to

include them.  Always

remind people of

their worth.  One

small act could mean

the world to them.

The post Thought of the Day… appeared first on Good News!.

When people walk away, let them.

Your future is not about people

who walk away. It’s about the people

who stay in it for the ride.

Dear Friends and Members,

Happy and Healthy Holidays to ALL.

Good News Corporation, est. in 2002, has been helping other nonprofits, organizations and individuals for many years, in fact next year will be our 20th Anniversary. We raised money for Katrina Victims, those without food in Africa and brought recognition to the International Day of Peace, September, 21. www.peacedayparty.org.

NOW, we would love for you to continue to help the world know about the concerns for WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene). Why, because people die without it, some say a billion plus are in jeopardy. This is not Good News and we have been involved for 20 years already with our show The Water Hour and our associate Phil Sauers helped create World Water Day. FYI, our new site is being worked on www.worldwaterday.TV. Our event will focus on INNOCENT CHILDREN.

We will be partnering and giving money to organizations that are “Hands on the Ground” saving lives. We will have major events on March 22, 2022 for World Water Day. We have on hold Times Square, The Great Lawn/Central Park and the Centennial Memorial Hall at the Salvation Army. All very powerful venues.

Please help support us with a donation and receive awards, all money goes to make our events happen and to save lives. Go to: https://goodnewsplanet.com/peacedayparty/peace-day-donations/

That’s it, right now. We will announce shortly some of the organizations that we will partner with who are doing important work for those suffering from NO CLEAN WATER here in American and Worldwide.

Once again, stay well and continue to be kind. Our long standing community of over 50,000 people is growing, please tell your friends about us and go to www.goodnewsplanet.TV for stories that might save your life and by far your spirts. Up- Beat, NOT Beat- Up Content! Positive News, Entertainment & Events.

Listen to “Betsy Bober Polivy shares, In 2011, I had the crazy idea to walk the entire original Manhattan Grid…” on Spreaker.

In 2011, I had the crazy idea to walk the entire original Manhattan Grid – from 1st Street to 155th. It took six years traversing the streets from the East River to the Hudson as I was visiting each business, meeting the owners and listening to their stories. It was a marvelous adventure that is documented on my website sideways.nyc

Throughout the pandemic, I have continued to be a dedicated advocate for small businesses. In March last year, I made the decision to self-publish Walking Manhattan Sideways – Side Street Businesses That Have Stood the Test of Time gosideways.nyc.

The book showcases the quintessential businesses that have survived over the course of many decades. While some are beloved and well-known establishments that continue to garner recognition, the book also shines a light on the astounding number of places that perennially fly under the radar.

This has been a passion project that people have enjoyed simply flipping through to read stories that spark their interest, or to embrace it from cover to cover. There have been television interviews including NBC, several articles have been written about the book nypost.com and the book was featured in all of the NY taxis!

The flood of gratitude and appreciation for the first book inspired me to begin working on another this past spring. In addition to shining a light on many more scrumptious restaurants, splendid neighborhood bars and one-of-a-kind shops that have survived on the side streets for decades, The Art of Walking Manhattan Sideways features magnificent places of worship, fascinating not-for-profits, and the Arts – in all its forms – galleries, museums, music venues and schools, dance institutes and theaters.

————————————
And here is an article that was published this week. She did a terrific job conveying my mission – my passion.
