This site is designed to help peace oriented people access to locally and
nationally known top peace and justice sites, on this one page. There are updates on local events and groups. I have also included some news sites and
articles to help catch up on what is currently important for peacemakers. There is
humor, protest songs ( current and legendary ) plus links to local representatives websites.
There are some politics, to encourage positive change.
"It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America to
return to her true home of brotherhood and peaceful pursuits. We
cannot remain silent as our nation engages in one of history's
most cruel and senseless wars. Martin Luther King
Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent. Isaac Asimov
