Season for Nonviolence/ DoP Cosponsor Action
During the Season for Nonviolence we will focus on peacebuilding by seeking additional cosponsors of the Department of Peacebuilding Act (HR 808), which was introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) on February 25, 2014.
The Season for Nonviolence is the 64-day period from January 30th to April 4th memorializing the dates Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., were assassinated by focusing on their legacy of nonviolence.
Thank Oklahoma Senator Inhofe for his support of the Youth PROMISE Act!
Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is the Republican lead sponsor in the U.S. Senate of the Youth PROMISE ACT (YPA), along with Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA). YPA will give our communities much needed support and funding to effectively address the prevention of youth violence issues. YPA ensures we are funding programs that save lives and give every young person the opportunity to meet his or her potential. OKLAHOMA RESIDENTS: thank Senator Inhofe for his leadership & urge him to champion the bill, encouraging his party members to sign on in support.
