SEPTEMBER 21: INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY

The goal toward which all history tends is peace, not peace through the medium of war, not peace through a process of universal intimidation, not peace through a program of mutual impoverishment, not peace by any means that leaves the world too weak or too frightened to go on fighting, but peace pure and simple based on that will to peace which has animated the overwhelming majority of [hu]mankind through countless ages. This will to peace does not arise out of a cowardly desire to preserve one's life and property, but out of conviction that the fullest development of the highest powers of men [and women] can be achieved only in a world of peace. -- Robert Maynard Hutchins (1899-1977)

"Robert Maynard Hutchins was President of Chicago University and founder of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, a think tank of scholars dedicated to exploring many issues related to creating a better world - freedom, international order, ecological issues, human rights and the rights of women and minorities." (Dayton Peace Museum)

Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. "On April 28, 1915, a unique group of women met in an International Congress in The Hague, Netherlands to protest against World War I, then raging in Europe, to suggest ways to end it and to prevent war in the future. The organizers of the Congress were prominent women in the International Suffrage Alliance, who saw the connection between their struggle for equal rights and the struggle for peace. WILPF's foremothers rejected the theory that war was inevitable and defied all obstacles to their plan to meet together in wartime. They assembled more than 1,000 women from warring and neutral nations to work out a plan to end WWI and lay the basis for a permanent peace. Out of this meeting the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom was born. / / WILPF's first International President was Jane Addams, founder of Hull House in Chicago and the first U.S. woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. For more information about Jane Addams, visit the official site of the Nobel Foundation on the 1931 Peace Prize. / It was the wisdom of our founding foremothers in 1915 that peace is not rooted only in treaties between great powers or a turning away of weapons alone, but can only flourish when it is also planted in the soil of justice, freedom, non-violence, opportunity and equality for all. They understood, and WILPF still organizes in the understanding, that all the problems that lead countries to domestic and international violence are all connected and all need to be solved in order to achieve sustainable peace. / / This remarkable vision still guides us today as we face the challenges of the twenty-first century. In today's context this means the equality of all people in a world free of sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia, the guarantee of fundamental human rights including the right to sustainable development, an end to all forms of violence: rape, battering, exploitation, intervention and war, the transfer of world resources from military to human needs, leading to economic justice within and among nations, and world disarmament and peaceful resolution of international conflicts via the United Nations."

But the number of nations enamored of evil and enslaved by nuclear arms has increased. The only role nuclear weapons have is to be demolished."

Waging Peace. Website of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. "The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation initiates and supports worldwide efforts to abolish nuclear weapons, to strengthen international law and institutions, to use technology responsibly and sustainably, and to empower youth to create a more peaceful world. Founded in 1982, the Foundation is comprised of individuals and organizations worldwide who realize the imperative for peace in the Nuclear Age. The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is a non-profit, non-partisan international education and advocacy organization. It has consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is recognized by the UN as a Peace Messenger Organization. . . . Our vision is a world at peace, free of the threat of war and free of weapons of mass destruction. . . . Our mission is to advance initiatives to eliminate the nuclear weapons threat to all life, to foster the global rule of law, and to build an enduring legacy of peace through education and advocacy."

War Resisters League and its magazine The Nonviolent Activist. "Believing war to be a crime against humanity, the War Resisters League, founded in 1923, advocates Gandhian nonviolence as the method for creating a democratic society free of war, racism, sexism, and human exploitation. . . . Across the political spectrum left, right and center, everyone says they want peace. Too often they also want a gun, an army, or a bomb to ensure they get the "right kind of peace." War Resisters League is unique because we believe, to quote the late A.J. Muste, 'There is no way to peace — peace is the way.' We reject the use of violence for national defense or for revolutionary change. Deeply influenced by the teachings of the Indian leader, Mohandas Gandhi, as well as Thoreau, Tolstoy, King, Deming, and others, War Resisters League believes war is a crime against humanity. We use peaceful means to create a society that is democratic, free of economic, racial, and sexual oppression. The methods we use range from education to demonstrations to lobbying to nonviolent direct action-at all times trying to see those we oppose not as enemies, but as sisters and brothers. / / WRL is committed not only to eliminating war, but the causes of war-causes intricately linked to the violence that pervades our society. We know that even where there seems to be "peace," the suffering of homelessness, hunger, lack of medical care, and poverty is as violent to those upon whom it is imposed as any war. We search for an answer to the violence in our society not in the building of more prisons, but in programs that bring help to those in need. The government centers its spending priorities on missiles and bombs despite the unmet needs of millions of desperate people. WRL works for peace within a framework of social justice. / / Our culture still equates masculinity with domination and concentrates economic and political power in the hands of men. The spirit and style of feminism offers a real alternative to the military psychology of America with its stress on competition and aggressive (even violent) behavior. Human survival depends on finding ways to negotiate and cooperate rather than continuing conflict through violence. / / The nonviolence of War Resisters League may seem radical simply because it is different. We know that all social change involves pain, suffering, and often tragedy. The pacifist does not deny conflict exists, but we believe nonviolence achieves social change with the least injustice and suffering because we focus on the evil of institutions rather than seeing individuals as evil.

Center for Citizen Peace building. "The Citizen Peace building Program at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is a distinctive international clearinghouse for research, education, and action on public peace processes. The Program focuses on how citizens participate in these activities to prevent violent conflict and, if violence occurs, to promote reconciliation and sustainable peace. The purpose is to significantly contribute to the theory and practice of conflict resolution. / / The Citizen Peace building Program is one example of UCI's response to the growing national and international problems of conflict and violence. Unlike other peace and conflict institutions that tend to focus on either international or domestic issues, the Program has an integrated approach to studying the best peace building methods in both domestic and international conflicts. We also focus on grassroots peace building efforts and leave government-level concerns to other institutions. Current efforts include peace building in neighborhoods in Orange County and Los Angeles, California as well as in communities in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Cyprus, and the former Soviet Union. / / The Citizen Peace building Program has three primary goals. The first goal is to study citizen peace building initiatives at home and around the world to determine the best practices currently in place and to share these findings with all interested organizations and individuals. The second goal is to offer training in successful conflict resolution skills. The third goal is to initiate and participate in citizen peace building initiatives worldwide as well as advocate for a safer world. Research, education, and action inform one another. All three are important to promote knowledge about positive models for change and constructive public debate."

Fellowship of Reconciliation. In 1914, an ecumenical conference was held in Switzerland by Christians seeking to prevent the outbreak of war in Europe. Before the conference ended, however, World War I had started and those present had to return to their respective countries. At a railroad station in Germany, two of the participants, Henry Hodgkin, an English Quaker, and Friedrich Sigmund-Schultze, a German Lutheran, pledged to find a way of working for peace even though their countries were at war. Out of this pledge Christians gathered in Cambridge, England in December 1914 to found the Fellowship of Reconciliation. The US FOR was founded one year later, in 1915. / / The FOR has since become an interfaith and international movement with branches and groups in over 40 countries and on every continent. Today the membership of FOR includes Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, and people of other faith traditions, as well as those with no formal religious affiliation."
Jewish Voice for Peace Love and Spirituality (USD)
Lovingkindness:"a nonprofit organization created in 1982 for the purpose of analyzing, investigating, and disseminating information about the effects of religious language (in particular, religious language in English). The philosophy of lovingkindness is based on these five concepts: 1. That the effects of language on human beings are powerful, with great potential both for help and for harm. 2. That religious language -- because it is so tightly linked in human minds with good and evil, reward and punishment, ecstasy and agony -- has especially potent effects on human beings. 3. That the effects of religious language are in many ways independent of whether affected individuals consider themselves to be religious or not. 4. That the effects a sequence of English religious language has are those created in the mind of the listener or reader (or thinker) in ordinary English -- regardless of what they might have meant in other languages if they are translations, and regardless of what scholars and specialists of such language may consider them 'really' to mean. 5. That given all of the above, religious language must be taken very seriously and used with scrupulous care and full awareness of responsibility for its effects."
Muslim Peace Fellowship. "Our objectives: (1) To work against injustice and for peace in ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world. (2) To encourage a greater commitment to peace on behalf of all Muslims. (3) To explore and deepen our understanding of Islamic teachings about peace and nonviolence. We are consciously devoting ourselves to work towards that realization. (4) To expose the falsehood of the popular stereotype that Islam is a religion that teaches terrorism and violence. (5) To reach out to people of other religious traditions in an effort to create mutual understanding, tolerance, and respect. (5) To work together with all people to keep open the Straight Path and to bring about a more just and peaceful community and world."

Pax Christi, National Catholic Peace Movement. "Pax Christi USA strives to create a world that reflects the Peace of Christ by exploring, articulating, and witnessing to the call of Christian nonviolence. This work begins in personal life and extends to communities of reflection and action to transform structures of society. Pax Christi USA rejects war, preparations for war, and every form of violence and domination. It advocates primacy of conscience, economic and social justice, and respect for creation. / / Pax Christi USA commits itself to peace education and, with the help of its bishop members, promotes the gospel imperative of peacemaking as a priority in the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the efforts of all its members and in cooperation with other groups, Pax Christi USA works toward a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world."

Religions for Peace: World Conference of Religions for Peace. "Throughout history, religious differences have divided men and women from their neighbors and have served as justification for some of humankind's bloodiest conflicts. In the modern world, it has become clear that people of all religions must bridge these differences and work together, to ensure our survival and realize the vision of peace that all faiths share."-- H.R.H. Prince El Hassan bin Talal, Moderator, Religions for Peace / / "The World Conference of Religions for Peace is the largest international coalition of representatives from the world's great religions who are dedicated to achieving peace. Respecting cultural differences while celebrating our common humanity, Religions for Peace is active on every continent and in some of the most troubled places on earth, creating multi-religious partnerships that mobilize the moral and social resources of religious people to address their shared problems."

Religious Tolerance.Org."This website is unlike almost all other religious sites: it promotes religious freedom, and diversity as positive cultural values. We do not promote our own religious beliefs. We can't because we are a multi-faith group. We try to explain the full diversity of religious belief in North America, from Asatru to Zoroastrianism, including Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Taoism, Universism, Wicca, other religious groups, and spiritual/ethical groups. We try to describe all viewpoints on controversial religious topics objectively and fairly. We cover everything from abortion access to equal rights and protections for homosexuals and bisexuals, including same-sex marriage, and dozens of other "hot" topics."

Its aim is to introduce the thought of peace, foment discussion as well as encourage poetry and songwriting and therein touch the lives of every child in the world. / / With individual advocates such as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the support of global organizations like UNESCO, New Songs For Peace will make its contribution to peace through the musical expression of international artists."
