The International Day of Peace and CP1D is working again to join our citizens together in action and celebration! CP1D is continuing it's week of peace in order to expand the reach and impact with it's  campaign, PEACE HAPPENS: One Week of Peace. The PEACE HAPPENS campaign is  asking for individuals, businesses, non-profits, organizations, educators, media sources, faith circles, and all citizen groups to take action throughout South Carolina in their own unique way. The goal is to inspire us each to collectively do our part in working toward a culture of non-violence, intercultural cooperation, and humanitarian action that is relevant to our everyday lives.

THIS YEAR STARTS WITH A DOWNTOWN BLOCK PARTY (MORRIS ST & FELIX) TO CELEBRATE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, INTER-CULTURAL COOPERATION & THE POWER OF COMMUNITY.  WE WILL BE PARTNERING WITH "FRIENDS OF DEREEF PARK, MORRIS BROWN A.M.E AND OTHERS.
