Frederick Arment, President and Executive Director of International Cities of Peace International Cities of Peace (ICP) has launched the Global Feast for Peace initiative in coordination with the Peace Cities Team for International Day of Peace.

The idea for this "Thanksgiving" for peace is to make the "Reflection, Education, and Celebration" of International Day of Peace accessible to everyone, including singles, families, neighborhoods, and larger communities. It will be the first time in history that the entire world will have the opportunity to sit down together and break bread in celebration and contemplation of peace. Seek Unity! Build Bridges! Celebrate Peace! Please support this initiative in your community. Here is how to participate: • Sponsor a Global Feast for Peace in your home or community. • Option: Arrange to film the event. It can be as simple as an iPhone uplink (we'll work with you on technology). PeaceDay TV will broadcast our Global Feasts to the world on Sept. 21st * Post here on Facebook if you are planning a small, medium or large pot luck, or simply sharing peace desert with friends and family.
