Chief Arvol Looking Horse has a vision. “One day I would like to see ‘Honoring Sacred Sites Day, June 21st’ recognized all over the world, when people will finally understand their importance. 2020 is the 25th year of ‘World Peace and Prayer Day’ at the Summer Solstice to bring attention to the importance of Sacred Sites.  In addition to daily live streaming events beginning June 18th, we are invited to visit sacred places in nature or in our houses of faith to join in solidarity: All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer to mend the Sacred Hoop of Life.  Learn more…

In that same spirit, the Center for Earth Ethics asks all of our allies to join the 150+ Mobilizing Partners and organizations of the June 20th Poor People’s Campaign Mass Assembly. Visit June202020.org where you can register and instantly send letters to your elected representatives in support of a Moral Agenda to address the interlocking injustices we must face, and that we must heal. And don’t forget to download the social media tool kit to share with your networks. We are stronger together.
