United States of America (Press Release) February 23, 2009 -- Tampa, FL, February 23, 2009 — Tampa, Florida based nonprofit, The Love Foundation (TLF), reached a new milestone for its Global Love Day initiative when it received its 200th official proclamation this week. The most recent came from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and is one of 21 new 2009 proclamations from governors, mayors, councils and commissions received just this past month. Dozens of prominent leaders from Maine to California, Canada to Florida, have issued documents already and many more are expected to follow in the coming weeks as the sixth annual May 1st date approaches.
Since the initial launch of Global Love Day in 2004, The Love Foundation has acknowledged responses from individuals and organizations in over 128 countries along with the now over 200 cumulative proclamations. TLF Founder, Harold W. Becker, states, “This day honors our collective humanity and the power of love within each individual. I believe this amazing response from so many diverse elected leaders indicates we are ready to embrace greater peace, compassion, tolerance and unity in our world.”
Equally inspiring is the core message which has already been translated into 31 languages and is the basis of the numerous proclamations. It shares the vision that: We are one humanity on this planet; All life is interconnected and interdependent; All share in the Universal bond of love; Love begins with self acceptance and forgiveness; With tolerance and compassion we embrace diversity; and Together we make a difference through love. “When we, as individuals, realize our potential to love unconditionally, we transform ourselves and the planet at the same time” shares TLF Founder Becker, “Together we can make a difference by joining our energy during this one day celebration of humanity.”
