Letters to DC: San Diego Community Implores Legislators to Make Peace a National Priority
Leading up to the Department of Peacebuilding Campaign’s Advocacy Days in Washington, DC, San Diego students and community leaders, and a student from Los Angeles wrote heartfelt letters to members of Congress imploring them to prioritize peace and establish a cabinet-level Department of Peacebuilding (DoP) now. We delivered those messages to over one hundred Representatives and Senators in October.
