A mass viral internet campaign has begun to include the world in the event.

Peace Beads has embraced the event and its mission. Peace Beads is committed to generating global peace, envisioning a world in which every human being may enjoy freedom and self-expression. Today's Peace Beads are a symbol of this vision, given by one person to another in the same spirit that made original peace beads popular in the 1960s.

Peace Beads are made with seven gemstones, gifts of the earth that have been chosen for their beauty and unifying energy. Each gemstone symbolizes one of the seven continents and represents our connection with one another as we embark on a journey of peaceful solutions to resolve our differences. The unique blending of beads and gemstones represents the blending of people worldwide.

Peace Beads are made by communities in need, fostering the opportunity for increased stability and prosperity. Our first design is specially crafted by American Indians of the North American High Plains, bringing together members of different tribes working harmoniously, creating a model for international peace.

Peace Beads draws from the wisdom of the many great traditions represented by each manufacturing community. The High Plains Indians teach us that peace between nations begins with true peace within the souls of individuals. It is by nurturing and sharing this inner peace that we invent a world of freedom, compassion and non-violence. Wearing and giving Peace Beads symbolizes the first step in this movement embracing global peace.

In an effort to further promote global peace, Peace Beads supports various organizations such as the United Nations Association and Celebration of Oneness that share our philosophy. These relationships enable us to assist in raising funds to support the overall cause and to reach more people with the message of peace and freedom.
