His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is participating in
a 24-hour drive for unity, The Call to Unite, organized by disability
rights activist and film producer Timothy Shriver. It opened Friday
evening and features numerous leaders and celebrities offering video
messages of solidarity and support amid the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic.
View featured videos and see the schedule of speakers and much more at www.unite.us. His All-Holiness is currently scheduled to deliver his message sometime between 2 and 3pm EDT today, Saturday, May 2.
The videos are designed to celebrate someone who has been supportive
for the speaker through the pandemic, as well as to explain the speaker
plans to #answerthecall for someone else in need.
The Call to Unite is partnering with GiveDirectly to raise direct
financial support for families around the world hit hard by the crisis,
and with Points of Light to provide opportunities that allow individuals
to choose volunteer activities, including remote, virtual and DIY, that
fit their needs and interests. For more details, go to www.unite.us.
