84th Ripple of Peace: Be a witness for Peace.
When people are bombarded with stories of conflict, unrest, terrorism and the possibility of war, they tend to feel discouraged, depressed or angry. Stories of Peace, win-win solutions, and effective Peacemaking activities on the other hand, can lead to feelings of hope and love.
Be a witness for Peace by sharing stories of Peace and successful Peacemaking efforts with others. Scour news articles and the Internet for inspiring tales. Then do one or more if the following:
- Create and distribute a monthly or bi-monthly newsletter of Peace to your friends and family members via mail or e-mail.
- Write an article or letter to the editor of your local newspaper or call in to a radio talk show to acknowledge successful Peacemaking efforts.
- Start a website containing and calling for stories of Peace and Peacemaking.
- Initiate a Peace story collection drive at your place of worship or work
Promote Peace.
