http://www.thepeacealliance.org

PLEASE CONTACT YES! MAGAZINE TODAY!
In an article written by Carol Estes titled "Active Nonviolence: Heroes for an Unheroic Time," the second to last paragraph in the article reads: "Considering the power and dominance of the United States, perhaps the most encouraging development is the grassroots efforts under way to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace. Its function would be researching, articulating, and facilitating nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict. The idea's supporters - and there are many, including 60 co-sponsors of a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives and activist organizations in 48 states and 285 congressional districts – want the United States to be more effective in addressing sources of violence."
