What will the Unity Walk look like this year? Now in its 15th year, the Unity Walk is a public demonstration of solidarity and unity for all faith groups in the DC metro area. Although virtual this year, the walk will offer an opportunity to visit houses of worship and faith centers from Baha’i to Zoroastrian, participate in meaningful dialogue, learn a new recipe from a local chef, and partake in service projects. It will be a powerful antidote to the ongoing divisiveness we are experiencing in our country today.
When is it? The Unity Walk will be on Sunday, September 13th from 12:30 – 5:30 pm. The online Resource Fair will be from 12:30 – 5:30pm. The opening ceremony will be from 1 – 1:30 pm. The Walk will be from 1:30 – 5:30pm. Access to the Resource Fair and to the host congregations and faith communities will go live on our website on Sunday, September 13.
