Make the Department of Peace a Reality The US Government is considering
formation of a Department of Peace!
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has introduced
legislation in the US House of Representatives to create a Cabinet level
agency dedicated to peacemaking and the study of conditions conducive to
both domestic and international peace.
The Department of Peace would focus on nonmilitary
peaceful conflict resolution and prevention of violence, and will
promote justice and democratic principles to expand human rights. A
peace academy, similar to the five military service academies, would be
created and its graduates
dispatched to troubled areas around the globe to
promote nonviolent dispute resolution. You can play a big part to help
ensure passage of this important legislation (H.R. 2459).
