"It isn't enough to
talk about peace.
One must believe in it.
And it isn't enough to believe in it.
Once must work at it."

WHY: To come together for
peace and to raise awareness and money to support the national grassroots
campaign to create a Department
Legislation is currently before the House (H.R. 3756) and
Senate (S.1756) to create a Cabinet-level Department of Peace that would
research, facilitate and articulate nonviolent solutions to domestic and
international conflict. The Department of Peace would be led by a Secretary
of Peace and include a Peace Academy on par with current military service
academies. You can help bring this vision to reality. Participate today!
