Feb 15, 2026 - At a time when national division and uncertainty continue to shape public discourse, faith leaders and community members across Gwinnett County chose a different response.
HWPL Georgia, in partnership with the Gwinnett Interfaith Alliance and The King Center’s Better Together Initiative, hosted a public unity walk and intercultural dialogue that brought together diverse faith leaders, community advocates, and residents in a visible demonstration of peace in action.
Honorable speakers included:
☪️ Imam Hammad Ahmad of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Norcross
✡️ Rabbi Zev-Hayyim Feyer of the Congregation Bet Haverim
✝️ Pastor Michael Jannett of the Community of Grace Lutherean Church
🕉️ Acharya Ananya Arya of the Greater Atlanta Vedic Temple
Ananya Arya of the Greater Atlanta Vedic Temple reflected on the shared humanity that grounded the gathering, stating, “Caring about human rights means caring about humans. This entire world is one big family.”
For HWPL Georgia, the gathering represents part of a broader strategic effort to institutionalize peace across the state. Through coordinated initiatives in peace education, advocacy, interfaith harmony, youth engagement, and community activation, the organization continues advancing its vision of transforming Georgia from a “Peach State” to a “Peace State.”
