Ideas for P.E.A.C.E. CirclesI'm proposing the formation of Peace Circles and attaching a Flyer that explains what they are about. Their focus is on Peace Education Action Commitments for Everyone. They constitute a simple, time-limited plan for really making a difference in beginning, nationwide, to substitute a culture of peace for our present culture of violence. I hope you'll consider adopting such a plan in your own community or neighborhood. As the Flyer describes, there will be a meeting Monday, April 3, at 7 in Lincoln, MA, to explain the concepts behind the plan. Michael O'Brien

the acronym et al
To see the acronym,one has to follow the emphases on the Flyer: Peace, Education, Action, Committments, and Extrapolate to Everyone.
This model has its third session, of course, devoted to creatively brainstorming Actions one might engage in, and this is where I would call attention to the Department of Peace Campaign, ProPeace.net, and other action campaigns and resources already in motion. The fourth session, of course, also relates to this, in focusing on one's choice of Commitments, and networking with others in the group in relation to this Commitment.
Thanks for your comments and suggestion.

Peace Circles
Your idea is low-maintenance, and that's important in this important-busy activist culture. I would make one suggestion: It is obvious that P.E.A.C.E. is meant to be an acronym, but I don't see its meaning spelled out on the flyer. I hope that, in your circles, you will help to spread the word about the Department of Peace Campaign and Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication paradigm - and propeace.net, of course!
