Global Voices for Peace

Global Voices for Peace started as a response to a feeling of tension that bordered on despair and helplessness.   As someone who dedicates time and energy to advocating for human rights, justice, and equity I felt this sense of despair, reinforced with images of violence and destruction, all too often in the news and on social media newsfeeds.

I belong to a community of peacebuilders and social justice advocates who work tirelessly at their vocation and have been doing so for decades.  Yet, we continue to see conflict throughout the world.  The more I thought about it, the more I felt I wanted to find a way to promote the work that peacebuilders are doing.  

​I  reached out to the community and invited them to share their thoughts.  In this way Global Voices for Peace was born. 

Three Goals

• Increase the understanding that peacebuilding is 'alive and well' the world over, and that peace is possible. 
• Connect peacebuilders around the world and create opportunities for collaboration and mutual support in their peacebuilding work. 
• Readers around the world will be inspired and motivated to look further into the contributors, their organizations and their projects.
