For the 17th year in a row, Whatcom Peace & Justice Center will host Bellingham’s International Day of Peace celebration.
International Day of Peace is WPJC’s main fundraising and educational event of the year, raising critical funds to support the ever more critical work of the Center in advocating for peace and against wars & militarized systemic violence at home and abroad. This year, our goal is to raise $5,000. Funds will make it possible for us to keep our doors open for new and old peace activists while supporting our volunteers and staff in their service during this time of unprecedented need.
This year features a series of virtual events including the presentation of our annual Lifetime Peacemaker Award, and a once-in-a-lifetime conversation between Seattle Black Panther co-founder Aaron Dixon and Portland artist, author, and educator Walidah Imarisha.
