International Day of Democracy — 15 September

As free people, we sometimes take this for granted. Yet, when it’s absent; we thirst only for this one thing that can fill us up and make us whole. It’s democracy and every September 15, we celebrate International Day of Democracy. The United Nations created the holiday to celebrate the system of values democracy promotes, giving citizens the power to make decisions regarding all aspects of their lives.

The UN’s specific goal  for International Democracy Day is to promote government’s role in maintaining open democracy among all member nations of the UN Charter.  From democracy’s birth in ancient Greece thousands of years ago through trial and error up to today, most of the world’s nations choose democracy over all other forms of government.  Despite modern-day strife and turmoil, democracy still works.
