Los Angeles, California, USA
Sunday, September 21
11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Griffith Park (by the merry-go-round)
HOSTED BY KEELY AND PIERCE BROSNAN
Join the festivities: live music, arts and crafts, celebrity speakers and more! The local "Hot Moms Club" will host an "EcoFabulous" fashion show featuring celebrity moms and the latest in green fashion and peace accessories. There will be music by Cord with Rami Jaffee of the Foo Fighters; Leather Souls; Foshay High School Band; Danza Xochipilli; and Tumi Ansa and the Bottom Tree Band. This event is free and open to the public.

There are three main themes that the group addresses:
Care and concern for the environment; Care and concern for animals; Care and concern for the human community.
Each year on September 21st, in support of the United Nations International Day of Peace, Jane Goodall's Institute, Roots and Shoots, organizes gatherings all over the World to promote Peace. Giant Peace Doves are made from recycled fabrics by young people in the communities. From the high peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro to the low plains of Kansas, Peace Doves Fly, held high by hopeful hands.
Griffith Park was a perfect setting, surrounded by its beautiful trees- although it was worrying to hear that even here there are plans afoot for so-called "development".
Headed by Environmental Activists and supporters- Daryl Hannah and Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye among others- it was a real Family day, children having a high profile. Pierce Brosnan, Keely and their two sons led the wonderful procession of about 50 Doves from among the trees. Particularly moving was a Dove surrouded by young, optimistic children carrying bunches of flowers- it is always strange and exciting that one can be moved by something which is, essentially, just an old sheet!
