2017 PEACE PRIZE

NOMINEES

We are pleased to announce that our Founding Members have nominated an unprecedented eleven deserving Americans to be considered for the Foundation’s 2017 Peace Prize. They are Erica Chenoweth, Garry Davis, Lynn Elling, Keith Ellison, Joseph Gerson, Edward (Ted) Lollis, Jim McDermott, Maria J. Stephan, David Swanson, S. Brian Willson, and Ann Wright.

You may read about their antiwar/peace work in the US Peace Registry. The information published there will be the only data considered by our Board of Directors when making the selection. The names of previous Peace Prize recipients are at www.uspeacememorial.org/PEACEPRIZE.htm.

The US Peace Memorial Foundation directs a nationwide effort to honor Americans who stand for peace by publishing the US Peace Registry, awarding an annual Peace Prize, and planning for the US Peace Memorial in Washington, DC. These projects help move the United States toward a culture of peace by recognizing thoughtful and courageous Americans and U.S. organizations that have taken a public stand against one or more U.S. wars or who have devoted their time, energy, and other resources to finding peaceful solutions to international conflicts. We celebrate these role models to inspire other Americans to speak out against war and to work for peace. CLICK HERE TO JOIN US!
