Peace Education | Art | Communication - PEAC

PEAC Institute has been busy since our last GlobalGiving report, identifying and cultivating projects that reflect our intersectional goals of Peace through the raising up of people.  We are currently working on two unique projects aimed at bringing empathy and commonality to the world stage.

Flame of Hope—is a charter effort by Earth Caravan drawing a line of fire between the first atomic bomb drop in Nagasaki and the fear, disillusionment, death and destruction that the threat of nuclear weapons continues to breed today.  The Flame of Hope has collected fires from unnecessary destruction all over the world and is working to tour the flame across the world in fall 2025 with the help of PEAC. 

Pause for Peace—A 24 hour love letter to humanity-- has brought together an international symphony of youth musicians to play concerts in every timezone.  This effort will be livestreamed for audiences across the world, forever cementing a new call for peace in the world with the musical artistry of the children who will inherit it.

PEAC is proud to be a partner for these two epic and global organizations, supporting both their efforts in fundraising and recognition.  They are our mission made manifest—”,,,to broaden minds, open hearts, build self-esteem, and nurture healthy relationships”.

Hello supporters, friends, and family! We have been busy out doing a lot and have a very exciting announcement coming soon! Here's an update that never got sent from 2022. A team is assembling and PEAC is roaring back into action. Thanks for sticking with us! Onward! ~Rebecca 

January 2022 PEAC was asked to deliver part of the Joint Statement to the
States Parties of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty at the
United Nations. Attached below.

In January 2022, more than 90 diverse civil society organizations
endorsed a joint statement to the states parties of the nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The statement highlights three key
messages for states parties to consider at the 10th NPT Review
Conference, which has been postponed several times due to
COVID-19 as well as offers more extensive policy analysis and
recommendations. This is a video delivery of the statement and
an update of a similar joint statement from May 2020.

The10th NPT Review Conference has been rescheduled for
August 2022.

We have reached an additional 1,273 people with the
statement. PEAC is hosting the video and will continue to
support the access and inclusion of diverse voices in the UN
System.
