HELP SUPPORT NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 14

[Contact your NY City Councilmember today by phone, email or fax. Please, take a moment to ask them to support R14 and become a co-sponsor. Thank you and be peace.]

For New Yorkers, September has been a sad and tragic reminder of the power of hate these past nine years. We know all too well the final culmination of hatred’s unyielding grasp; destruction and misery.

However, as Americans we also know the good that can come from rising about hate. This year New York City can show the world that we believe in the power of peace over violence. The choice is ours!

New Yorkers for a Department of Peace believes there is no better way to exemplify this than by the City Council passing Rosie Mendez’s Resolution 14 in support of a United States Department of Peace.

September also brings with it the United Nations 2002 declaration that the 21st of this month be known as the International Day of Peace. We urge you to use this occasion to take another look at H.R. 808 in the U.S. Congress, which calls for the establishment of the Peace Department.

Our city, our country and the global community are in desperate need of direct, focused and proven approaches to reducing all forms of violence at every level of society.

This September you can change the course of history by supporting R14. Who better than citizens of New York City to lead the way in transforming hate into love!
