Leading the celebration yesterday was The Peace Alliance and friends of People's Park. Their efforts are to help create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace.
The Department of Peace Campaign was launched in April 2003 in Washington, DC, at the first Department of Peace Conference, which was held in conjunction with the introduction into the 108th Congress of legislation to establish the department. The campaign was originally organized under the Global Renaissance Alliance (now called The Peace Alliance Foundation), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by the current chair of the Peace Alliance board of directors, Marianne Williamson. The Peace Alliance was founded in May 2004 as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation, at which time it took over the further organization of the U.S. Department of Peace Campaign.
It is with the help of thousands of citizen activists that we have taken this campaign from a beautiful idea into a political reality. Together we are building the foundation and infrastructure for a more peaceful nation and world.
