Скачать или смотреть Love Parade in New York Part I on April 26, 2015

Beautiful Sunday in Manhattan on April 26. People organized for the 1st Annual Love Parade in New York. A brief talk with one of the organizers of the Love Parade.

This is not quite like the Love Parade in Berlin, but it has possibilties to become big.

The Love Parade (German: Loveparade) was a popular electronic dance music festival and parade that originated in 1989 in West Berlin, Germany.[1] It was held annually in Germany 1989-2003 in Berlin, then again in 2006 in Berlin and from 2007 to 2010 in the Ruhr region.

Love Parade NYC is for those who believe that speaking out against injustice is the right thing to do, but in a way that aids the solution. We will come together as a community to focus on what is going right in order to fix what is going wrong by creating a small change in your heart.

Imagine - people walking down the street - with signs, balloons, streamers, passing out heart stickers - celebrating what inspires them to keep living life and stay hopeful. And you smile; the silly, fun sight impacts you. Your day is changed - and because of that you make a small positive impact in someone else’s day.



Problem:

Big changes need to happen. Hunger and obesity, wealth and poverty; these exist side by side. Disrespect to our environment, to our neighbors, to our police, and disharmony within our governments.

There are so many big issues, it can feel incredibly overwhelming. What can you do now?

Our Solution:

I suggest that we come back to LOVE, and Choose Love Now. Focus on what is going right, talk about the kind of world we want to live in.

Big changes need to happen, but they start NOW with small changes in our hearts. Choose Love Now by choosing to forgive, accept, and act out of love instead of fear.

What inspires you to Choose Love Now, even in a small way? How did you decided to accept emotions and act out of love, when you felt frustrated, angry, or hurt? Why do you Choose Love Now?
