Participate in an historic citizen lobbying
effort to create a U.S. Department of
Peace. House Resolution 808, “The
Department of Peace and Nonviolence
Act,” has been re-introduced in the U.S.
Congress. This landmark measure will
augment our current problem-solving
modalities, providing practical, nonviolent
solutions to the problems of domestic and
international conflict.
Domestically, the
Department of Peace
will develop policies
and allocate resources
to effectively reduce the
levels of domestic and gang violence,
child abuse, and various other forms of
societal discord. Internationally, the
Department will advise the President and
Congress on the most sophisticated
ideas and techniques regarding peace-
creation among nations.

Like other campaigns and movements,
this one is an adventure. We don't know
when success will come. But, we feel like
this is a logical effort to be involved in. The
achievement of a Department of Peace
will move us closer to our long-term
objectives. So, we're going to put our
energy into it.
If you're able, please participate in one of
our monthly campaign meetings. See the
OK-Global Community Calendar for time &
place.
If you live outside of Oklahoma City,
please help us to organize a group in your
area. Contact us to schedule a
presentation to your local club, school, or
organization.
