Making Peace a Priority!
“How to be an Effective Advocate”
New Peace Alliance Training Call Series with Lynn McMullen
Next Call: Thursday, June 28th

Listen to audio from past calls:

• Do you long to make a difference in the world?
• Do you want to help bring forth a worldview that is restorative and preventative rather than punitive, one based on peacebuilding rather than war-making?
• Do you want to build-up your skills and confidence to effectively enroll support in a way that could actually help shift the world? 
  

One of the most profound ways you can make a difference in the world is to effectively engage your elected officials and members of your community in a worldview where the work and practices of
peace become our organized norm.

In the meantime, join our Training Call Series focusing on:

• Making peace an election year priority.
