The New York Convergence and UNITY EARTH Liftoff Spur Directions for the Road to 2020 and Caravan of Unity Across America By Kurt Johnson and Shannon Winters
Following on UNITY EARTH’s amazing Toronto Convergence at The Parliament of the World’s Religions in November, a series of Convergence events launched both World Interfaith Harmony Week and UNITY EARTH’s Liftoff for its Road to 2020 vision and the Caravan of Unity across the United States in New York City February 1-5. On Friday, February 1, 120 New York City, regional, and global leaders gathered at the Social Hall of 4 West 43rd St., in downtown Manhattan, for a full day of conceptualization and planning toward the vision of The Road to 2020 and The Caravan of Unity across America (for more on the Road to 2020 click here). Expanding into three synergy circles—Global, United States Caravan, and New York—leaders of several dozen transformational organizations and NGO’s pooled insights on how to plan and coordinate global events through 2019 and 2020. The Road to 2020 includes major events like U Day India and U Day in the Holy Land which lead up to UNITY EARTH hosting a series of events across the United States, including the Caravan of Unity, culminating in a major public event in New York City on the 2020 International Day of Peace (September 21). This is a chance for myriads of individuals and organizations to work together to bring the vision of the values and ideals of the transformational movement—both sacred and secular—to bear on the many challenges and potentials humanity now embraces globally.
