The event was organized by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) and united participants around what organizers described as a moral fight against oppression, poverty and racial discrimination across the world.
It was the sixth such virtual rally since August 2020, with the gatherings offering an outlet for collective optimism, hope and encouragement in what has otherwise been a challenging period for peace-oriented civil society discourse amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The event was highlighted by the launch of “Think Tank 2022,” which a press release described as a “global network of experts in all sectors and fields” that will work to encourage international efforts to promote peace around the North Korea issue.
