Youth for Human Rights launched an anti-hate campaign on the anniversary of the Unite the Right demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left 30 injured and one person dead.
The announcement came on the anniversary of last year’s deadly Unite the Right demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, and aims to counteract hate with education about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
An entire floor of the Church of Scientology will feature panels, displays, artwork, and videos promoting human rights. Various human rights organizations will present their programs and display their materials at the event, which will include interactive stations where people can participate and learn about human rights. Human rights art displays will also be featured.
The highlight of the program will be the presentation of Peace Lights—an artistic rainbow of selected multi-color lights projected on walls. Peace Lights, which premiered at an International Youth for Human Rights Summit at the United Nations in New York, will be displayed on the exterior of the Church of Scientology and simultaneously on 21 September at of the UN in New York, in Melbourne, Australia, and other sites across the world.
