Announced on June 4th 2018, the 'City of Carson Proclamation in Recognition of Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) Awareness Week' stated, “the Mayor and City Council of Carson, California proclaim June 9-15 2018 'DPCW Peace Awareness Week''' to encourage citizens to accept the need for peace within the community - at home and in school - and as a pledge to garner support for peace education within the workplace and government.

It stated, “Peaceful conflict resolution is important for creating a harmonious community, and in our diverse society, everyone respects the differences in race, religion, and culture.” “To end violence, citizens promote peace. We need to build a culture that supports and promotes peace, and a culture of peace must be preserved through activism, the media, and legislation to benefit mankind.”

This declaration was promoted and announced by former Mayor Albert Robles, who attended the WARP Summit in 2014. Following Mayor Jim Dear (2004-2015), Albert Robles served as Mayor of Carson from 2016-2020.

The City of Carson's confidence in HWPL had been demonstrated through its designation of Chairman Lee as Honorary Citizen and issuing Chairman Lee a citation for his peace movement on December 6th 2014, during the period of Mayor Jim Dear in office. Moreover, Carson City drew attention by designating May 25th, a date when the Declaration of World Peace was proclaimed, as “Heavenly Culture, World Peace and Restoration of Light (HWPL) Day.”

At that time, during peace discussions with Chairman Lee, Mayor Dear promised his support, saying, “The work that the Chairman has done so far is really great and important. While I serve as Mayor of Carson, I will cooperate with Chairman’s peace movement in whatever way I can.”

Chairman Lee noted that at the time of the 1st WARP Summit, the participants signed a peace treaty and a pledge for the alliance of religions. He said, “It has not been possible until now because there has neither been an end to war, nor the security of peace within this global village. If we do it, we can do it.” Mayor Dear said, “Chairman Lee’s words are the answer to peace. I think there is a clear way to achieve peace."

A peace conference was also held on May 22nd 2014 in Carson, during the 10th peace tour of Chairman Lee, in the presence of about 1000 people whose enthusiastic support was given.
