Non-governmental and religious organisations are united in support of the call for citizens to pause for five minutes on Saturday, in a symbolic gesture of national unity and peace-making.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley made the appeal as the island grapples with a crime surge.
During a recent national address, the Prime Minister made it clear the authorities will not surrender to a handful of individuals who seek to cause panic in the country.
President of the Power of Choice Incorporated, Errol Griffith acknowledge that though some are not impacted directly, crime is having its effect.
He believes core values are needed that will guide the nation.
Mr. Griffith was a guest on CBC TV8’s Mornin’ Barbados.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is on board with the venture.
National Communication Director Kathie Daniel says action must be taken to bring peace to Barbados and help those struggling.
