Our Mission

The Peace Alliance empowers civic action toward a Culture of Peace.

Who We Are

We are an alliance of organizers and advocates taking the work of peacebuilding from the margins of society into the center of national discourse and policy priorities.

We champion a comprehensive, collaborative approach to peace and peacebuilding.

Our tools include:

  • Peacebuilding Education
  • Legislative Advocacy
  • Collaboration with citizens and organizations for a greater voice for peace.

By clustering our efforts into five dedicated cornerstones we educate and amplify a broader voice for the peacebuilding movement

  • Cultivating Personal Peace
  • Empowering Community Peacebuilding
  • Teaching Peace in Schools
  • Humanizing Justice Systems
  • Fostering International Peace

What We Do

One of the unique things that the Peace Alliance does is to focus not only on doing, and also being.  We shift human understanding toward empathy, compassion and connection, thus fostering interdependence among citizens and dialogue toward common ground and peaceful solutions to conflict. This is the only approach that will work.

Our Peace Alliance Council Leads establish what they feel are the clear and direct actions, through education, advocacy and collaboration, to expand and reinforce this shift to compassionate understanding and an expanded culture of peace.

Notable Successes:

On a policy level, we have helped spearhead efforts through our organization and close allies to pass numerous pieces of federal legislation (and some state), including:

  • Helped secure over $110,000,000 in funding for International Peacebuilding priorities;
  • Led successful national effort to secure U.S. Institute of Peace funding when Congress threatened to eliminate it completely during budget battles;
  • Passed meaningful provisions of the Youth PROMISE Act (one of their top legislative priorities) as part of the final version of the Every Student Succeeds Act, S. 1177, which passed into law, and the Juvenile Justice Delinquency and Prevention Act in the House of Representatives;
  • Supported the path for President Obama to sign an Executive Order to institutionalize the U.S. State Department’s Atrocities Prevention Board;
  • Helped garner over 70 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives for legislation to establish a U.S. Department of Peacebuilding, including the introduction and support in the Senate.
  • Helped educate and advocate for the inclusion of “Peacebuilding” efforts as part of the Democrats 10 key foreign policy priorities;
  • Passage of the first in the nation Colorado Restorative Justice in Schools bill to implement and fund programs state-wide;
  • Helped educate and advocate for the inclusion of meaningful “Peacebuilding” efforts as part of the Democrats 10 key foreign policy priorities in 2009;
  • California Democratic Party adopted key Peacebuilding priorities into its party platform.
