Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, its the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

Mission
To empower peacemakers, locally and globally, through education, communication, and action.
Perspectives on Peace:

+ Peace is the imperative for our world;

+ Peace is a vigorous dynamic through which each individual and group can bring forth their best;

+ Peace is a pre-requisite to solving the world's problems, not a consequence;

+ Peace is profitable;

+ Peacemaking is a positive process of building, not tearing down. We are "pro" peace, not "anti"
    anything;

+ Peacemaking skills can be learned and taught;

+ It is time for women, the traditional teachers and peacemakers in the private worlds, to take
    responsibility for public peacemaking.
