Humanity faces many challenging problems throughout the world today. It is long past time that we must come together, as one human family, to support one another and to deal responsibly with our common problems.

Thus we, a group of individuals and organizations that has been actively working for world democracy for many years now, are inviting you to join us in recognizing and celebrating World Unity Days for World Citizenship and Global Governance on the two Equinox days of March 21 and September 21 each year.

The accompanying Manifesto describes our goals. We are collecting signatures (ongoingly) in support of the Manifesto with the intention of presenting it to the political authorities in national governments and intergovernmental institutions as the number of supporters grows. The more that people participate actively in this initiative, the more likely it is that our political representatives will take our desires and demands seriously, and jointly take steps with us towards a new and more democratic world order.

World Unity Day will mark a time when WE, the People, can come together as one to recognize and celebrate both our unity and our diversity; to remember and give voice to our common heritage, rights, and responsibilities; and to organize and participate in cooperative activities to support this. We thus invite you to participate in the next World Unity Day of March 21, 2006, by organizing and taking individual and community action that focuses on our common dream of equity and justice for all, including:

Signing the manifesto; Forwarding this message to as many people as you can;
Sending this manifesto to your MP or political representative;
Writing letters or articles to journals;
Visiting the websites of the sponsoring organizations; and joining or supporting those you feel most closely represent your thought;
Organizing community events, ceremonies, speeches, meetings, parties, and/or intercultural activities to celebrate World Unity Day;
Sending your comments on the manifesto or new translation to worldcit@googlegroups.com.
