HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Race for Peace – Global Action Starts With You
On June 16th, 2026, communities around the world will unite in a shared act of remembrance, hope, and peace. Inspired by the young people of Orlando West and Phefeni High Schools in Soweto, we invite you to be part of something truly global, a movement where every step taken is a step toward understanding, unity, and justice.
Wherever you are in the world you can be part of the Race for Peace.
