SGI President Ikeda and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Adolfo Pérez Esquivel released an appeal to young people worldwide, calling for a new world built on justice and solidarity. 800 young people of diverse faiths including representatives of the Jewish, Buddhist, Catholic and Muslim faith traditions and NGOs attended a Youth Convention where the Pérez Esquivel - Ikeda appeal was entrusted to the youth. Dr. Pérez Esquivel and Mr. Ikeda stress the critical role of empowered young people in transforming history, calling on youth to unite to protect the dignity of life, fight injustice and eliminate misery in support of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its goal of “transforming our world.” Read the full text of the joint appeal: http://www.daisakuikeda.org/sub/resources/works/lect/20180605-esquivel-ikeda-jt-appeal.html
