June's fast for peace
Description
The fast for peace is a group fast on the 15th of each month. It's water
only, and can be any 24 hours; dinner-to-dinner fasts are a common way
to participate. This commemorates Gandhi's fasts for peace in India that
saved countless lives.
A 24-hour fast has many mental and physical benefits, but the idea is feared by many because it is unknown. This monthly event helps encourage people to try their first fast; it's less scary when other people are doing it too, plus it's for a cause.
Will you fast for peace with us? In March, we had pledges from 18 states and 7 countries.
