SOL Festival is an inclusive Human Rights celebration, bringing together, unifying, and cultivating the awareness and power of all people through art, music, social action and passion. SOL Festival is a catalyst

for the creation of a world in which all individuals, families, and communities are valued and live in a society where freedom, justice, respect, dignity, peace and sustainable ways of living are its guiding principles. SOL Festival supports local Human Rights movements and re-affirms our solidarity with the peoples of the world.

This year SOL Festival is being transformed to be a free Human Rights

Celebration at MacArthur Park on Saturday, June 21. Summer Solstice!

The longest day of the year.



SOL FOUNDATION



Spirit of Life, Spirit of Love, Spirit of Liberation (SOL) Foundation

was initiated as a Human Rights support network in 1996 by several Los

Angeles organizers that felt the need for a broadly framed

organization. We have evolved our mission, vision and projects strengthening an

active local Human Rights community.



Our Mission is to practice diverse and principled strategies to

realize Human Rights. Our strategies include educating, organizing, promoting

culture and art, networking, advocacy, and sustainable ways of living

to bring about a society where everyone lives in well-being.



SOL envisions a society where universal Human Rights are realized and

everyone lives in good health and fulfillment. This includes liberty,

justice, peace, respect and dignity for individuals, families,

communities and cultures; sharing and collaborating to provide safe, sufficient

and decent food, shelter, education, environment, employment,

healthcare, rest, time with family and friends, awareness, and the appreciation

and celebration of diversity.
