Los Angeles City Council to Honor Metta World Peace's Legacy with Special Day. In a move aimed at promoting mental health awareness and advocacy, the Los Angeles City Council has designated May 15 as "Metta World Peace Day." The tribute is a nod to the former Los Angeles Laker, who has been open about his own struggles with mental health and has since become a vocal advocate for mental wellness. By recognizing Metta World Peace's dedication to raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental health issues, the city council hopes to inspire others to prioritize their own mental wellbeing and seek support when needed.


The Los Angeles City Council will celebrate “Metta World Peace Day” on May 15. The day is meant to honor the ex-Laker known for his mental health advocacy.
