our faith in the goodness in humanity, and the longing for harmony and
co-existence. The traditions include but are not limited to American Native,
Atheist, Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Earth-traditions, Hindu, Muslim, Jain,
Jewish, Pagan, Sikh, Wicca and Zoroastrians; it is an all inclusive

The idea for
Unity Day USA was first conceived on
Tuesday, September 11, 2001 and took its current form on Sunday, September 11,
2005. It is an initiative to come together to stand up for the safety, security
and cohesiveness of America .
It is an experience to feel a sense of unity with fellow Americans that will bring a feeling of coming home to where we drop all of our identities and to be united together as an American family.
As Americans we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our constitution. Our faiths reinforce the idea of one nation with liberty and justice for all.
