What You Can Do!

We invite all who desire to be part of the Axis of Friendship to remember September 12th, every year, in several ways:

• Light a candle at sundown and place it in a prominent window overnight to bear witness to the light of peace and to kindle the goodwill that connects us to each other across all lines of difference and division.
• Organize a candle-lighting vigil in your community.
• Create an Axis of Friendship Festival in your community, to share food, music, speakers, and art, to celebrate cross-cultural understanding, and to honor the faiths, families, cultures, and friendships that unite us. Watch the first Axis of Friendship Festival.
• Volunteer for people-to-people civilian delegations to meet people in places where tensions exist in official diplomatic relationships or welcome those who come to your community.
• Donate to support our work to expand the circle of friendship.
