Peace + Justice

The"Weaving Organizations" resource forum is a space to share all the amazing organizations nationwide that are weaving community around peace and justice topics. When adding an organization to the directory, be sure to share:

• Name of organization
• Location (address if possible)
• Description of how they are weaving community and the overall work
• Website and/or social media links
• Your connection to the organization, if you have any, in case someone wants to get in touch further

You can also find (and add!) weaving organizations and volunteer opportunities around various topics through theWeaver Network.

If your group is doing local social justice work, The Peace Development Fund offers Seeding the Movement grants to cover general operating costs.

If you happen to also be in western Massachusetts and have a leader of color, you can tap support from the Western Mass Transformation Fund. And if your group is youth-led and youth-oriented, you can apply to The Braiding New Worlds Fund. Past grantees include a Detroit-based effort to bring youth together to advocate for policy changes on issues from education to climate change.

World Citizen Peace is dedicated to empowering people to create a just and peaceful world.

World Citizen Peace offers three pathways to peace...

• by joining as an international peace site
• becoming a peace ambassador
• supporting peace education in our homes, schools, and in the wider community.

The purpose of peace education is to help us become more mindful about peace in our daily lives, provide ideas, and resources for peace action, and learn from peacemakers in the world so that together we can create cultures of peace where we work and live.

World Citizen Pathways are grounded firmly in our five peace actions:

• SEEK peace within yourself and others.
• REACH OUT in service
• PROTECT the environment
• RESPECT diversity
• BE a responsible citizen of the world
