The idea
A yearly global reset for trust.
World Trust Day is designed to become more than a celebration. It is a global movement where people, families, schools, companies, governments and organizations actively rebuild honesty, unity and compassion.
L. Monte Cook III, known as Dr. Fantastic, launched the campaign to establish September 21 as World Trust Day—a day dedicated to one of humanity's most important values.
The campaign asks people everywhere to support the petition, make trust visible through simple actions, and bring communities together through kindness and service.
Trust and kindness work together. The Kindness Revolution invites people to be kind to themselves, kind to all others, and kind to Mother Earth.
“Without trust, families crumble, friendships fail, businesses collapse, and nations divide.”— Dr. Fantastic
