Join our Peace Partner Team!
At this moment in history it is imperative that we invest in and prioritize work and practices that can help foster the peace that we all desire. We cannot do this without a large-scale constituency working to make it so. That is our core mission and the task before us. It's why we need your help! Help prioritize positive and pro-active solutions to the challenges before us by making a monthly or one-time donation. While many believe that the challenges of violence and disharmony are insurmountable, we feel there is much to be hopeful about. Possibilities for peace flourish. From teachers who bring conflict resolution education into classrooms, to programs in prisons helping inmates turn their lives around, to sophisticated policies and efforts to avert violence from erupting in international conflict hot-spots, to a parent learning new skills and taking daily actions to become a better parent to their children -- from the personal to the socio-political, there are countless examples, both large and small. "This organization is on the leading edge... Through your organization the word spreads out among the people, so it becomes a more popular thing to be counted as one of the pilgrims, trying to lead us to this promised land of peace." Quotes from Peace Partners: "There are times when I cannot give as much of my time as I would like, and when I see my monthly contribution as a Peace Partner on my statement, it's something I can always feel good about. I see an investment in peaceful tomorrows that I know will pay more dividends than my other investments." ~ Lori Draper, Alaska "My monthly donation to The Peace Alliance is an investment in the world I want my granddaughter to grow up in. Dennis Kucinich recently asked: "We spend so much time, so many resources human and financial, preparing for war. Why not begin to spend time and resources preparing for peace?" The Peace Alliance is doing just that - - spending time and resources preparing for peace. I hope you will join me as a peace partner." ~ Kendra Mon, Petaluma, CA "I support The Peace Alliance because their work is very important to me. When deciding on charitable contribution, I try to give money to organizations whose aim is to decrease human suffering. Work of the Peace alliance fits perfectly. Violence prevention means decrease in suffering and also saves money. It makes perfect t sense to me! Especially in our society, where many people take violence/war as part of human condition. A lot of work needs to be done in this area, to educate people about creating a culture of peace. We need The Peace Alliance to coordinate this important endeavor." ~ Susan Krcmar, New Jersey "Love, it is up to us all whether we choose to let it out or not. And the same goes with peace. We can have a Peace Poles, Peace Gardens, wear clothes with the peace symbol on them, draw peaceful sidewalk chalk art, and the list goes on, but ultimately, it comes down to whether we choose peace, and take action behind it, and go out into this planet and our communities to actively promote and strive for it. That is what I love about this group; that they actively engage in peace-building. They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk!" ~ Kevin Szawala, Michigan
