Livestream – A Common Endeavor: Building America’s Future

UPDATE:

Building on last year’s livestream and the meaningful conversations it inspired, A Common Endeavor has continued as an ongoing effort to sustain and deepen that dialogue year after year. As these conversations take root in communities, they reflect a pattern in which ever-evolving discourse advances and unfolds.

This year, the Bahá’ís of the United States have released a new letter, A Common Endeavor | Realizing the promise of America offered in the same spirit. It seeks to move these conversations forward—inviting reflection, encouraging participation, and contributing to a growing sense of shared purpose in addressing the challenges and possibilities facing the nation today.

A Common Endeavor: Building America’s Future

On April 26, 2025, a special national broadcast from the 117th Annual Bahá’í National Convention invited viewers to reflect on the profound challenges and opportunities before America today.

This special presentation featured inspiring messages and moving videos exploring vital themes such as:

• The oneness of humanity and the urgent need to eliminate racism
• America’s unique spiritual destiny and role in advancing global peace
• The empowerment of youth as leaders and agents of transformation
• Religion as a force for unity and harmony
• Building inclusive, vibrant communities

Through words and imagery that stirred both heart and mind, the broadcast offered insights and perspectives rarely heard elsewhere—a collective journey toward a society founded on justice, equality, and compassion.

The full video includes captions in English, Spanish, and Persian, with a Persian-dubbed version available here:
