New Peace Movement

The new peace movement is a new generation of empowered and effective peace activists. As a social movement it seeks to achieve goals of ending war and minimize inter-human violence. The means to achieve these ends include advocacy of positive peace, peacebuilding, non-violent resistance, diplomacy, boycotts, moral purchasing, supporting anti-war political candidates, demonstrations, and National Political lobbying groups to create legislation, Peace and Conflict Studies

The Mission is to empower the Peace Movement by empowering the new generation of Peace Advocates.
