The Tennessee chapter of
United for Human Rights (TNUHR) is making plans for International Peace Day on
September 21st.
International Day of Peace
was declared by the United Nations General Assembly as a day devoted to
strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and
peoples. This is more relevant than ever, and human rights activists are
planning a large event for the occasion in Nashville on September 21st at the
Church of Scientology.
Tennessee United for Human
Rights (TNUHR) is sponsoring the event. TNUHR is a chapter of the
international organization United for Human Rights, formed on the 60th
anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to provide human
rights resources and educational materials to all sectors of society.
This is the third annual
observance of Peace Day by TNUHR. In 2015, the group organized an eye-opening
panel discussion on “Exposing the Hidden World of Human Trafficking,” and in
2016, TNUHR held an event under the theme “Know Your Rights and Survive:
Overcoming Domestic Violence.” Expert panelists spoke about human rights
abuses, how to recognize signs of violence and trafficking and how to help
someone who may be a victim.
This year, the Peace Day
event will be held on September 21st
from 4-6pm in the Nashville Church of Scientology community hall under the
theme “Immigration at the Founding of Our Nation.”
Rev. Brian Fesler,
regional coordinator of the Tennessee United for Human Rights program says, “We
are inspiring peace and educating people about their basic rights. With this
knowledge, we can work together to end violence in this country.” For more
