Building City of Peace is feasible. I am working for this idea for last three decades. Now with your site, I get moral support to develop my ideas further to build City of Peace on the ground.
Eugene City of Peace web page on microfinance describes what we are setting out to do, create "teams of teams" or "networks of networks." Bill Drayton claims, and I believe, that the social entrepreneurs are the cutting edge of exponential social c…
If we all accepted a compassionate response to Jared Loughner, might he not receive the help he needs instead of the death penalty?
We Are At War With Ourselves The culture of violence needs to be replaced, not overwhelmed with police powers, not corrected with underfunded agencies, not locked up in a jail cell, not treated as somebody else's problem. It's our problem. Only…

I watched all 7 episodes and was disappointed to see how few people have viewed them. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to hear and see another proponent of peace-building as a practice deserving as much training and focus as we currently place on peac…
We have to build PEACE & GREEN communities which will be sustainable and prosperous.We can do it through blending of "SCIENCE OF MATTER" with "SCIENCE OF SPIRITUALITY".Seems difficult,but collectively we can do it.
Through local alliance building, community education, personal peace practices and service efforts in our communities, we will demonstrate on the ground what peace looks like.

Thanks, David, I'll be passing this along to lots of people. I think a virtual Peace Summit will inspire a lot of interest.
I'm so excited I want to tell everyone! I believe this is a major step forward in building the attractive, collaborative energy, voice, and influence of the peace movement. PeaceWeek, the largest virtual peace summit ever created, will offer profoun…
I just returned from the National Peace Academy's Peacebuilding Peacelearning Intensive which is all about building "right relationships." I also had a great book to read on the plane, "The Power of Collective Wisdom" by Briskin & others. My feeling…
David this is really cool. We also volunteer a little with the Union of Concerned Scientists. I felt a little guilty not devoting 100% to both groups, but in my heart, I know that we have to preserve the planet in order to preserve and maintain peac…

Victim, rebel, or co-creator?
Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships is a 1964 bestselling book by psychiatrist Eric Berne. This book catalogs a series of "games" in which people interact through a patterned and predictable series of "transactions" which are superficially plausible (that is, they may appear normal to bystanders or even to the people involved), but which actually conceal motivations, include private significance to the parties involved, and lead to a well-defined…

Release my heart
Achieving peace has always seemed like a struggle,
a journey up an endless hill, but
what if
it were effortless,
as in a letting go,
a falling into
wholeness and community?
As soon as the peace dilemma is re-framed as
our personal need to uncover
— release —
our ability to respond
to our frustration, anger, or sadness
with creative solutions,
that problem…

A First.
I just have to tell someone! Today in the parking lot at the grocery store a woman approached my car, NOT to talk about the car but the DEPARTMENT OF PEACE sign I always have had flying behind me for over a year and a half. Most people pretend to not notice that it's there.
A sign of Spring in the peacemaker's world....

A bridge to peace and survival
A friend of mine asked for some brief ideas on “Where do we go from here?” Oftentimes the best way to see the path forward is to start from the distant goal and ask what has to happen before that, and before that, etc. Starting from the top goal and working backwards to the more immediate goal, this is my crazy idea for a bridge to world security: Some day in the near future, within our lifetime: The U.S. Congress authorizes and funds a Department of Peace or something like it, perhaps… Continue

I live in Portland. I'm already in contact with Justice, Danielle and Ken Bryan, I'm moreso curious if there are any projects me and some people from the Student Peace Alliance at my school can engage in over the summer.

- 6/7/09 Dear David,
Thank you for your activism for peace.
For the last 4 years I have organized the Search For Peace Art Exhibit, held physically on the west side of Portland at the St. Pius X Community Center early in March, often on the same weekend as the anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Our web site is http://www.searchforpeaceart.org/
I have found that having a Department of Peace lawn sign is effective in sensitizing people to think about Peace. One person told me, “You are the Ambassador of Peace,” because he had seen me and the sign when he drove past.
This year the Search or Peace weekend is evolving, possibly to a Search For Peace and Justice. If there is no justice, peace will not last very long, and peace may not even occur in the first place without justice.
Perhaps the Department of Peace could have a table and/or speakers at the new Search For Peace and Justice. The St. Pius X Community Center in Cedar Mill, west of Portland, is currently scheduled for this event for the March 5-7, 2010.
Peace,
Mary

- I totally understand where you are coming from! With so many social networking sites, it can be pretty demanding of our time. Our hope with building this site, this network, is that all the members of the Department of Peace Campaign can gather here for all of their needs, instead of in a several different places. To make things easier for you, I would encourage you to redirect people in your Facebook group and various blogs to this central site. It will give them a chance to see what other people throughout the country are doing as well.
