From Louisville, Kentucky: League of Women Voters of Kentucky President, Teena Halbig noted, "It takes a local community of committed individuals to develop healthy civil society. This forum challenges citizens to take action after this program to use their individual power to make a positive difference!"

Every forum participant is asked to pledge to take action to build a better world. Through our network, you can volunteer, give, or build understanding.

The Daniel Pearl Foundation's 6th annual "World Music Days" runs October 1st through October 15th.

This worldwide event has brought together hundreds of thousands of people joined in the belief that the things that unite us are bigger than those that divide us. Registered performances this year include Elton John, Itzak Perlman, Ravi Shankar, and Herbie Hancock.
