Carlos Valderrama: “We want to generate a global consciousness against every form of violence”

Valderrama is the first Colombian soccer player to support this global initiative, The World March for Peace and Nonviolence. In his video endorsement Valderrama declares: "I join the World March for Peace and Nonviolence asking for the end of wars, complete and total nuclear disarmament and the elimination of all forms of violence."

Valderrama highlights the objective of the project, to create consciousness about the need for nonviolence. With his encouraging words, he affirms, "Things can change with the support of each one of us, we want to create global consciousness against all forms of violence: physical, psychological, racial, religious, economic, and sexual."

The World March will pass through Colombia on December 18, with a formidable public event.
