The Bring the Peace Movement - The Peace Alliance

Honoring our ‘Stop the Violence’ Movement of the late 80’s and shifting our movement building strategy towards a BluePrint for Peace, the Bring the Peace Movement will address the public health crisis of incessant violence in our communities using the power and influence of hip hop.

Goals for this movement are:
~ Identify violence defined by local communities
~ Amplify partnerships, programming and policy advocacy to eliminate violence
~ Produce an Educational Awareness Campaign

Building on the success of the Super Bowl Halftime show where hip-hop culture cemented its influence, The Peace Alliance Community Peacebuilding Lead, JoHanna “J” Thompson, MPA is building out the Bring the Peace Movement (BtP) as a national call to action to transform trauma-inducing moments of violence into a healing-abled movement, amplifying local communities working to bring the peace through partnership, programming and policy advocacy.

Emerald Snipes-Garner

Campaign from May 15- May 22

Please join Emerald Garner beginning Sunday, May 15, 2022 in a week-long campaign to tell law enforcement what we, the community, consider to be safety.

In 2014 when her father, Eric Garner, was killed the conversation ended too quickly about what we needed in the community to build safety… then George Floyd happened followed by #defund. We are asking the question #peaceofficersORpoliceofficers? on the day that John F. Kennedy made a proclamation to establish Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Bring The Peace Movement asks you to flood all social media platforms with the concept of Peace Officers instead of Police Officers using these hashtags:

#PeaceOfficersORPoliceOfficers? #PeaceOfficers #WeWANTPeaceOfficers #WeNEEDPeaceOfficers #BeAPeaceOfficer #BlueWallOfPeace #BlueCode4Peace #BlueShield4Peace
