WHO: YOU, your friends, and others ready to literally walk the talk of peace (by walking or contributing a donation).

WHAT: An intercommunity walk to promote peace and non-violence in our world, at home and abroad.

WHY: To raise awareness and money to support the national grassroots campaign to create a Department of Peace in the U.S. federal government. Legislation is currently before the House (H.R. 808) 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!

Background: The Peace Alliance Offers an opportunity to participate in an historic citizen lobbying
effort to create a U.S. Department of Peace. Domestically, the Department of Peace will develop policies and allocate resources to effectively reduce the levels of domestic and gang violence, child abuse, and various other forms of societal discord. Internationally, the Department will advise the President and Congress on the most sophisticated ideas and techniques regarding peace-creation among nations.
