MISSION STATEMENT - United for Peace is a collaboration of national and international peace and social justice organizations and scores of local places of worship, peace centers, and community organizations. We all share the belief that the commemoration of September 11 and the loss of thousands of innocent lives that happened on that day should bring us together to work for a peaceful future, not a future of more war and violence.
We are encouraging communities around the country to organize peace events during the week of September 11, 2002 in the hopes of transforming that day into an occasion that promotes a more just and peaceful world.
Organizations Involved:
American Friends Service Committee Black Radical Congress Fellowship of Reconciliation Global Exchange M.K.Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence National Coalition for Peace and Justice Pax Christi Peace Action salesforce.com/foundation Schools of the Americas Watch September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows Shundahai Network Veterans for Peace War Resisters League Women's Action for New Directions Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
