Dear John,

Join us on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 24, for the Global Peace Flag Exhibit at The Ellipse in front of the White House in Washington, DC! The Global Peace Flag consists of canvases displaying artwork and messages of peace from around the world, including from the U.S., Cuba, Nepal, India, Congo, Egypt, Sri Lanka, and more. At the intersection of fashion, environmental justice, and peace building, the Global Peace Flag transforms fashion waste — discarded muslin prototypes — into symbols of hope, unity, and resistance to conflict.

RSVP to join us on May 24!

The event will include a fashion show and art exhibit displaying the Global Peace Flag Project, plus music and speeches from notable anti-war voices, including World BEYOND War’s own Executive Director David Swanson; CODEPINK Co-Founder Medea Benjamin; fashion designer Runa Ray, founder of Fashioning for Social Environmental Justice; spoken word poet Marjan Naderi, former D.C. Youth Poet Laureate (2020); Eli S. McCarthy, Director of Programs at DC Peace Team; Dr. Steven Nabieu Rogers, Executive Director of the African Justice and Faith Network; and Notre Dame de Tous Les Peuples, a powerful choir ensemble that brings us songs of peace inspired by the African continent.

WHAT: Global Peace Flag Exhibit + fashion show, speeches, poetry, and music!
WHEN: Saturday, May 24 at 1:00pm
WHERE: The Ellipse, 15th St NW & Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004

Celebrate peace with us on Memorial Day weekend in Washington, DC!
