The first objective of this group is to become aware of the mission of the Peace Alliance.  Visit http://www.thePeaceAlliance.org

I have personally spoken with many of you about the Peace Alliance. When I first visited the site, I realized that there is SO much to this endeavor. Everytime I have a question, I just go to to the site & there's the answer.

In September, there was a fantastic Conference in Washington D.C.
What I realized was that even people who had been advocates for years needed to periodically review the details of this exciting movement.

The Peace Alliance is a rapidly growing movement with a primary mission of creating a Culture of Non-Violence. Establishing a Department of Peace is one of the key activities of this movement.

To learn more about the Department of Peace, you can visit http://www.DoPCampaign.org. This is the key ACTION Item behind the organized efforts of the Peace Alliance.

Check out both websites & become familiar with the movement for Peace. When you have become familiar enough with the key reasons and objectives... Speaking about it with others will become fun and natural.

We need you to become the Ambassadors for Peace & developing your knowledge is the first step!  http://www.thePeaceAlliance.org.

What is the Department of Peace Campaign? - A Bill (HR 3760) and (S. 1756) to establish a U.S. cabinet-level Department of Peace (DOP) is currently in Congress. These Bills establish non-violence as an organizing principle of American society, providing the President with an array of peace-building policy options for domestic and international use. Domestically, the Department would be responsible for addressing gang and drug violence, child abuse, prison reform, domestic abuse and other issues of conflict. Internationally, the Department would gather research, analyze foreign policy and focus on non-military peaceful conflict resolution. The Bill would establish a Peace Academy modeled after the military academies that would train in conflict resolution and peace-building strategies.
