The Center for Pluralism

We are pleased to submit the summary of what we do, also included in the summary below is the Muslim Segment of the Center.

Our mission is to build a cohesive America where no American has to live in apprehension, tension or fear of fellow American. Our programs are designed to bring Americans Together.

The center is driven by the fact that the more often people see each other in social, cultural, civic, religious, political and other settings, the stronger the medicine would be against divisiveness, resulting in fewer misunderstandings and misperceptions between fellow Americans. We have programs to bring Americans together,  Attached brochure gives the details – https://centerforpluralism.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4.-CPF-Programs-4-Pages.pdf


WE ARE DOERS:

Please visit our website www.CenterforPluralism.com and browse through nearly 20 programs designed to bring Americans together. We are an organization of activism, and through our actions on the ground, research, publications, Seminars, workshops, TV and Radio appearances we bring results to the community and create a sense of security for every American.

We have defined Pluralism as ‘respecting the otherness of others.’

We are committed to forging a secure environment for all Americans, ultimately the safety of each one of us hinges on the safety of people around us.

PLURALISM AWARDS

The 20th Annual Pluralism Awards, the awards are designed to encourage individuals who respect the otherness of the other, and stand up for the rights of other – Last year’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H9V0h7Jr_M&t=399s

FESTIVAL OF FAITHS

The 2nd Annual festival of faiths will be held on Sunday, December 18, 2017 where we celebrate all religions from Atheism to Zoroastrianism and everyone in between. If we want to develop a sense of oneness with the other with our given uniqueness, we have to witness each other’s celebrations.   Last year’s event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vAwvoqz01I

HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDES

The 13th annual reflections on Holocaust and Genocides.  The purpose of the event is education, we have to learn to acknowledge and reflect upon the terrible things we have inflicted upon each other. We have to commit to ourselves to resist the temptations to stereotyping others. We cannot demand peace unless we are peaceful ourselves. Our main anchor event will remain Holocaust and we will be highlighting the plight of Rohingya people and what we can do to prevent evil occurrences.

Invitations are in process to invite the decision makers at the Department of State, Department of Justice and the United Nations.  Details at – www.HolocaustandGenocides.com

UNITY DAY USA

The 14th annual Unity Day USA will be held on September 11, 2018.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 for Americans to come together to stand up for the safety, security, and cohesiveness of America.

On this Unity Day, we the people of the United States of America of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture, and background will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, unity, prosperity and well being of our nation.

THANKSGIVING CELEBRATIONS

The 20th Annual event will be held in November 2018. The purpose of celebrating this event is to thank the creator for helping us learn; to give thanks for the blessed life we all enjoy in these United States of America; to celebrate the diversity of creation; to enjoy the cultural heritage of each ethnic group that makes America; to appreciate and recognize outstanding volunteers in each community; to gather together as Immigrant Americans with born Americans; to bring the new immigrants into our fold and to accept, respect and appreciate each other’s uniqueness. www.ThanksgivingCelebrations.org

UNDERSTANDING RELIGIONS

When we live as neighbors, fellow workers, students, players, activists and inhabitants of the same city, it behooves us to learn about each other’s beliefs, motivations, moments of celebrations, devotions or commemorations. The more we know about the other, the less mythical they would become creating a friendly environment for all of us to function effectively in whatever we do.  Knowledge leads to understanding and understanding to acceptance of the otherness of others leading us into tension free and sustainable prosperity. We will resume workshops on “Understanding Religions, all the beautiful religions” – in 2018.  https://centerforpluralism.com/workshops/

MY DREAM

All good things in society happen with some one’s dream and execution of the same. Here is my dream which is becoming a reality, that one day we will wake up to an America, where no American lives in apprehension, discomfort or fear of the other. It would be a prophetic realization of the vision of our founding fathers, “That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” And that dream was refreshed by Martin Luther King, Jr. Please join us in achieving that dream for each one of us.
