This gathering was part of a peace movement started by peace maker Man Hee Lee, founder of International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and the event’s keynote speaker. Joining them were local leaders like Mayor Jim Dear of Carson City, Mayor Andre Quintero of El Monte, Consulate Generals of Kenya and Belize and Miss LA County Anna Lisa Matias.

The event began with a colorful costumed peace rally for clubs to express their passion for peace and concluded with a signing of the IPYG Declaration of Peace, which calls on all youth “to unite in an effort to stop wars and pursue the restoration of peace by agreeing not to fight one another.”
