UAADV Stands Behind the Implementation of the US Department of Peace

The primary function of a United States Department of Peace will be to research, articulate and facilitate nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict. The legislation was re-introduced into the House of Representatives (H.R. 3760) and introduced for the first time into the Senate (S. 1756) this past September.

Thousands of citizens around the nation are working to support this legislation, organized by The Peace Alliance  ( http://www.ThePeaceAlliance.org ).

The Department of Peace will facilitate the most cutting edge ways to wage peace. From nonviolent communication skills, to conflict resolution techniques and cultural relationship building, the Department of Peace will employ proven and effective strategies for diminishing violence in our country and in our world. As a member of the President's cabinet, the Secretary of Peace will provide the President; the State Department; the Departments of Defense, Education and Justice with greatly expanded problem solving options. The Department of Peace will also provide support for state and local government to address issues of domestic violence.

The time is now. Please support this effort. Write and call your Member of Congress and urge them to support a Department of Peace. Start by sending a message now from our online action center at: http://www.thepeacealliance.org/action
