A cabinet-level Department of Peacebuilding will create the vehicle for this breakthrough to finally come to pass. Spend this time with us as we commemorate the years of tireless efforts to further this legislation, envision how a local Civic Peace Department could show us how this will transform communities, and learn how you can join the team to tell our elected officials that the time is now for a cabinet-level Department of Peacebuilding.In peace and partnership, Dee Tate Managing Director and The Peace Alliance Board of Directors Please consider a monthly donation to help sustain the critical work of peacebuilding in our country and beyond by clicking the button below.
