Peacebuilding Conversations

Conference Calls
Each month we hold at least two conference calls which are open to the public. One is an "All Call" where we discuss upcoming actions and answer questions about the campaign. The second is a call where we discuss and learn about Nonviolent Communications. The public is invited to join us on both calls.

Ask A Peacebuilder
Marianne Perez, part of New Yorkers for a Department of Peace, will share information about peacebuilding and answer your questions about the field under "Ask A Peacebuilder" This area allows comments so If there is something you want to discuss, register and leave a comment or send us an email.

Of course I do realize you must start small, but I was wondering if I can make this into a career?"  Read the Peacebuilder's response and join the conversation.
