September 11th represents a choice point for us as human beings. We can continue to choose violence, or, like Gandhi on September 11, 1906, we can choose strategies of peaceful conflict transformation.
CHOOSE PEACE is a series of events sponsored by New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NYDOP) honoring the 11 Days of Global Unity from Sept. 11-21. The CHOOSE PEACE campaign will raise awareness about the Dept. of Peace legislation and raise funds for the Peace Alliance.
NYDOP hopes that activists across the country and the world will organize CHOOSE PEACE Film Festival House Parties, which entails hosting a house party; watching a film about peace, nonviolence, and/or social change; facilitating a discussion; disseminating information about the Department of Peace Campaign; asking guests to invest in peace; and writing postcards to the Republican and Democratic National Committees to ask them to make the Department of Peace part of their party platforms.
House party kits with everything you need to host a successful house party are available now … go to: www.nyc-dop.com/choose/filmfest.html
