PEACE Iowa Vision

• Make visible the way of peace. Increase awareness of the presence of peace-minded individuals and groups in eastern Iowa, and support their endeavors.

• Facilitate community, common purpose, and cooperative action among diverse peace-oriented groups. Draw from the peace traditions of many faiths and from secular movements promoting peace.

• Inspire and educate future generations of peacemakers.

• Connect eastern Iowans to people affected by violent conflicts around the world, in order to hear first-hand their experiences, perspectives, and needs.

• Foster communication between eastern Iowans and ordinary people in nations and groups labeled our "enemies."

• Serve as a resource for individuals who want to learn about historical peace traditions and movements.

• Educate ourselves and others about the links between war and political, social, and economic practices.

• Provide resources to help eastern Iowans make personal choices that decrease the likelihood of war and promote international peace.
