27. Practical Acts of Peace

"A man can do only what a man can do. But if he does that each day he can sleep at night and do it again the next day." -- Albert Schweitzer

 

The Culture of Peace Movement is about changing society's attitude toward peace, so that we can work together to create an infrastructure for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world. But it's also about practical acts of peace - doing what we can to help alleviate human suffering and make the world a better place, now.

Volunteering in your community and giving to charities working for a better world are important tasks for peacebuilders. Check out www.Idealist.org - to find local, national and international organizations working on specific issues for a better world.

It's important to let elected officials know your views when they're making important decisions that affect us all. When we work together, the silent majority can speak just as loudly as special interests that try to control the government. TrueMajority.com, ActForChange.com and MoveOn.org provide ways that you can let our leaders know how we feel with a simple click on your computer.

Get involved. We can change the world with practical acts of peace.
