Invest Your Money In Peace ... Why Become a Peace Alliance / Dept of Peace Partner?
No great social achievement — from women’s suffrage to civil rights — has succeeded without the support of citizens willing to fund the dream into action. The Peace Alliance is turning a minimum of dollars into a maximum effect. By making simple regular monthly (or quarterly) contributions through your credit or debit card, you help ensure that we have a stable, predictable income stream to fund our many needs. As you make the commitment to be a Peace Alliance Partner, you are joining our sustaining stewardship program.

Think about it, if just one thousand people sign up to regularly donate $15, $20, $30, $50 or any other amount each month (the price of a just a few lattes from Starbucks!), then we will be able to fully accomplish all the tasks at hand for the upcoming year.

Your funds will go directly toward manifesting our national strategy for 2006, including further professional training of our Congressional District and State Coordinator volunteers (already working in over 300 congressional districts in all 50 states around the nation!), lobbying members of congress to support this legislation, increasing outreach to university and college campuses, coordinating a national media campaign, and providing funds to establish our projected new offices in New York and Washington D.C., and this is just a short list of what we want to accomplish in the next year!

We are inviting everyone to participate in this campaign to create a broader foundation for the expansion of our work and the realization of a culture of nonviolence. Our goal is 1000 Peace Alliance Partners by Mothers Day 2006, with 500 by the end of January (in time for our State Coordinators retreat in San Diego). If you are already a monthly donor, please consider increasing your donation; if you are not already a donor, please become one now. We also gratefully accept one-time donations.

Help make this historic legislation into the law of the land -- what a gift to give for generations to come. Our thermometer will be posted on our homepage to keep you up to speed on the progress of this fundraising campaign. We hope you will join us. We simply cannot do it without you. Thank you for your support! www.ThePeaceAlliance.org/donate
