More about This Week’s Peace Action

Peace grows through actions large and small. When you take action as a member of the Peace X Peace This Week’s Peace Action Circle, that impact is compounded. Through This Week’s Peace Action, individual actions for peace link with the coordinated actions of hundreds and thousands of other women and men around the globe. Individual peace action multiplied over and over will take us to the tipping point. Together we can replace the growing tendency toward conflict and war with a propensity for peace.

This Week’s Peace Action promotes practical things everyone can do to build peace at the personal, family, community, national, and international levels. Browse our actions archive for ideas.
