2026 International Day of Peace Surfacing Hope
September 20 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm PDT
Whatcom Peace and Justice Center is excited to announce the 2026 International Day of Peace! Recognized by the United Nations since 1982 and the City of Bellingham since 2017, this is a community-focused day of celebration that offers space to support our work in uplifting local organizers and connecting to global movements against violence and oppression.
International Day of Peace is WPJC’s main fundraising and educational event of the year, raising critical funds to support the ever more vital work of the Center in advocating for peace and against wars at home and abroad.
This year, we’re celebrating with the theme: “Surfacing Hope”. Despite living in a time of deep economic precarity, fear of another global war, relentless AI intrusion, and institutions that betray the public trust, this year’s theme reminds us that hope is always there, often just beneath the surface; it is this hope that inspires creatives to keep producing art, whether in writing, painting, dancing, or organizing and building community
Amazing food, silent action and fabulous performers (including Instisaar) will be performing!
