How wonderful to have found your blog! You have just the right idea -- create peace locally, then watch it spread.
Since you are in Texas and an advocate of peace, I thought you might like to know about a campaign currently underway in Texas to support unarmed civilian peacekeeping. Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), an unarmed, professional civilian peacekeeping organization, has received a challenge grant from a supporter in Arlington. She has offered to match up to $20,000 in donations to NP from her fellow Texans for the remainder of 2009. We’re calling it the Lone Star Peacekeeping Challenge, and our goal is to fund one unarmed civilian peacekeeper in the field entirely with funds collected in Texas through this drive.
Can you help us spread the word about this opportunity in Texas?
