Created annually as a symbol of global unity and world peace, the tree is a gift from members of the San Francisco LGBTQ+ and Japanese American communities to the world, inspiring hope, love, and humanitarian action.
Wishes from world leaders to school children, from San Francisco to Sri Lanka, make the RWF World Tree of Hope a powerful expression of people coming together to create a better world.
