Global Citizens Circle

Reflecting on over 20 years of partnership with American Friends of the Parents Circle - Families Forum , we cherish the memories created since our 2002 Circle event, 'Unlikely Peacemakers: Bereaved Israeli and Palestinian Parents Unite in Grief.' In the heartwarming picture, Yitzhak Frankenthal, the visionary founder of Parents Circle, stands as a beacon of hope and unity. A Full Circle moment as we gear up to partner again this September. Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming events with American Friends of the Parents Circle - Families Forum. Together, we continue to foster unity and understanding.

In the midst of turbulence, there shines a beacon of hope - Global Citizens Circle. Founded on the principles of unity and understanding, this organization exemplifies the power of coming together, even in the face of adversity. The Circle, which was inspired by Catherine Dunfey's legacy, is evidence of the power of acting and encouraging deep dialogue. This year, marking our 50th anniversary, let us embrace the values of inclusivity and discourse, respecting one another's truths, and learning from a range of viewpoints. We create the conditions for justice and peace to triumph by being open-minded and respectful of opposing viewpoints. Remember that the most important thing is to just "do something," and let us walk in the footsteps of those who dared to change the world.

✨ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." These powerful words were spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, as we face so much darkness and hate, Yolanda Renee King reminded us of her grandfather's words and the importance of spreading love and light. Let us all strive to let love and light guide our actions. 💛
