Make Oct 31st International Michael Jackson Day
The Issue
Michael Jackson, revered as the King of Pop, was not just an incredible performer and musician, but also a humanitarian who deeply touched the lives of millions worldwide. Having grown up inspired by his unparalleled artistry and enduring messages of love and peace, I urge you to join me in commemorating his legacy by making June 25th International Michael Jackson Day.
Throughout his extraordinary career, Michael Jackson redefined the music industry. With sales exceeding 750 million records globally and countless music awards, including 13 Grammy Awards, his influence on the world of entertainment is undeniable. Songs like "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Beat It" continue to captivate and inspire generations even today.
But Michael's impact extended far beyond music. Renowned for his philanthropic efforts, he supported over 39 charities, such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. His Heal The World Foundation aimed to improve the lives of children worldwide by fighting poverty and disease. Michael Jackson was deeply committed to breaking down racial barriers, fostering social justice through his lyrics and actions.
The 25th of June marks the anniversary of his untimely passing in 2009—a day that left fans, loved ones, and admirers in deep mourning, yet united in celebration of his life and work. Establishing a dedicated day in his name ensures his contributions to music, philanthropy, and global unity are remembered and celebrated annually.
This tribute would not only preserve the memory of Michael Jackson but also inspire future generations. It would encourage others to embrace the altruistic values and humanity he espoused. By setting aside this day, we honor an icon who used his platform to change the world for the better.
In most peoples' minds, Halloween is synonymous with Michael and Thriller and has been for years so declaring Halloween Michael Jackson Day just makes sense and has been a long time in coming so let's all honor his memory by signing to make this happen.
Please join me in urging the United Nations to officially declare Oct 31st as International Michael Jackson Day. Sign this petition to recognize and perpetuate the legacy of a man who showed us the power of music and the importance of compassion and unity in our world.
