President Obama Petition:
Support a U.S. Department of Peacebuilding
Leo, today marks the 12th anniversary of the introduction of legislation to
establish a U.S. Department of Peacebuilding.
Sign Petition Today!
Spread the word!
Facebook & Twitter
In 2001, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced this landmark bill into the
U.S. House of Representatives. Earlier this year, it was once again
re-introduced by Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
In honor of this milestone moment, help us get as many folks as possible to
take this action -- urging the President to get behind the bill and the bold
vision inside it. Thank you all for already helping us surpass our goal of
2500 signers to the petition! Let's keep it going.
Sign the petition and forward this email widely - encourage others to take
action! >>
The legislation calls for a Department dedicated to "peacebuilding,
peacemaking, and the study and promotion of conditions conducive to both
domestic and international peace and a culture of peace."
A few things a Department of Peacebuilding will do:
Teach violence prevention and mediation to America's school children
Effectively treat and dismantle gang psychology
Rehabilitate the prison population
Build peace-making efforts among conflicting cultures both here and abroad
Support our military with complementary approaches to peacebuilding.
Create and administer a U.S. Peace Academy, acting as a sister organization to
the U.S. Military Academy.
As we continue to push for this bill, we also recognize that the political will
to establish another cabinet-level department could take time. That is why we
are also pushing the President (and Congress) to get behind shorter term
solutions -- NOW.
Our petition calls for greater support for a number of key peacebuidling
initiatives out there that will help increase our current capacities. We also
call on the President to interimly create an Office of Peacebuidling or
Advisory Board on Peacebuilding, which is within his power to do.
We must work vigilantly to make reality the vision and work powerfully spelled
out in a Dept. of Peacebuilding.
Join us in asking President Obama to support the establishment of a U.S.
Department of Peacebuilding and an Office of Peacebuilding within the White
House. Help us spread the word!
In Peace,
Dept. of Peacebuilding campaign planning team
Jerliyn, Karen, Kendra, Matthew, Nancy & Pat

“Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human
mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are
made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of
circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.”
