Yoko Ono is calling on people to sign a petition that asks the United Nations to declare a Oneness Day.

The petition has already been signed by Desmond Tutu, Deepak Chopra and the Dalai Lama, and Ono has called it “Potentially the most important petition ever launched . . . toward a New Spirituality, a new humanity, a new earth.”

Humanity’s Team – a spiritual movement whose purpose is to communicate and implement the belief that we are all one, one with God and one with life, in a shared global state of being, so that the behavior of humanity may shift to reflect this understanding – is collecting 50,000 signatures to “persuade the United Nations to declare a Oneness Day, a day set aside and embraced by individuals, communities and nations for humanity to celebrate, discuss and experience our commonality, while still acknowledging and respecting our beautiful cultural diversities…a day to unite in Oneness for the greater good of the Human Family.”
