Would you be willing to help us plan the future of the Peace Alliance?  Given the growth and demonstrated efficacy of peacebuilding efforts, interest from policymakers in DC, and our grassroots advocacy over the last six years, the time is ripe to make significant, concrete, positive change.  Over the course of the last year our staff, board and many in our grassroots have been crafting a draft strategic plan that we think will take peacebuilding work to a new level of influence in our government and society. 

We are ready to share the draft plan with you and hope to get your input. With your help, we can ensure that this plan is something that is both bold and focused; guiding us to maximize our impact both locally and nationally.  To mainstream peacemaking throughout our government and our society, every single one of us will need to play a role.  Please join this process and help guide the future of the modern peace movement.

HOW TO ENGAGE:

2. WATCH POWERPOINT VIDEO PRESENTATION

2. WATCH POWERPOINT VIDEO PRESENTATION featuring Lynn McMullen, exploring more deeply two key parts of the plan: the Legislative and Community Peacebuilding sections.

3. DoPEACE DISCUSSION FORUM:   Go to the DoPeace discussion forum to begin to participate in the dialogue!  We have separated out each of the five area’s of the plan to have a discussion topic on each one, along with one forum for the plan overall.  We also have a section set up on the topic of what worked and what could be improved in the future with this collaborative process overall.
