Australia Citizenship Day is celebrated annually on September 17. This day is for Australians by birth or choice to celebrate and appreciate their country. It allows citizens to consider their responsibilities and privileges. Most importantly, it’s a chance for Australian-born citizens to affirm their commitment, something previously reserved for new citizens. Those approved as Australian citizens get to fulfill the last and most crucial step in the process: The Australian citizenship ceremony, a formal, government-required event for everyone trying to become an Australian citizen. New citizens pledge their commitment while long-time citizens reaffirm their love and solidarity for their country.
National Sit With a Stranger Day
National Sit with a Stranger Day is observed on September 16 of each year in the U.S. The day was created in a bid to encourage people of all ages and gender to strike up a conversation with a random stranger for the sole purpose of seeing things from the perspective of others.
In an era where lockdowns have become the norm, National Sit with a Stranger Day was created by the B.DOPE L.L.C. team, a bottled water company that is creating a catalyst for optimism, encouragement, and relationships. The day presents a splendid opportunity to start a random, friendly conversation with someone and make a new connection.
Trail of Tears Commemoration Day
Trail of Tears Commemoration Day, on September 16, is a day that is as tragic as it sounds. It marks an atrocious event in history where Cherokees and other Native Americans were forced out of their homes and sent to live in a region assigned by the government. During this journey, conducted on foot, many people died in a ghastly manner, remembered by their predecessors until today. Hence, the day makes it impossible for us to forget all the people who suffered during that dark time in American history.
