This global movement is premised on the understanding that all of our systems of foreign policy, education, politics, economics, business, health, and social welfare are interdependent and therefore can and must cooperate and coordinate with one another in seeking, teaching, and living peace. Active campaigns are currently underway in Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, and groups in other countries are exploring launching similar campaigns, as well. These campaigns are motivated by both a recognition of the alarming levels of violence in the world and an awareness that humanity actually knows how to curtail or even eliminate it - if we would choose to do so.</p> </div> </div></div> http://www.propeace.net/node/537#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2005 14:07:08 -0400 Jason White 537 at http://www.propeace.net
