"We are All Sapients" Day, is a major and popular public holiday in Biotopia and Love and esterel to celebrate the vote of the “Sapients Bill of rights” on 12 December 2001, by the congress, in each of these 2 nations.
The vote came after huge peaceful demonstrations which took place in 2001 in Zhaire, the capital of Biotopia and Anjuna (the second largest city in Love and esterel) in order to grant similar rights to every sapients being species (Humans, ET intelligences, Posthumans and AI).
"We are All Sapients" Day is celebrated every year in many cities and in particular on Plaza of white Pines (Zhaire), and Sapients Plaza (Yashibu District) and is a stunning peaceful gathering of hundreds species from all over the world. Among the most active species behind the peaceful movement which took places and behind the celebrations is the indigenous species from Biotopia: Pagnaan Sapiens ans the Stotos.
On the Saturday 20 December 2005, another huge demonstration took place in these 2 nations, in order to support the Rights of Biological Sapients UN proposal, presented by the nation of Reformentia. Even if some demonstrators were not fully satisfied with the wording of the text (for its vagueness about sapient criteria and AI left aside), the proposal was an essential first step for them. This time the outcome was less successful for the demonstrators, but most felt a general feeling to have contributed to the advancement of this cause.
