Creating a Local Dept. of
Peace in our Taos Community For a Sustainable & Peaceful
Future
A lot of sustainable theorists
focus on Sustainable Technology & Techniques to get us through
transition stages of change. Most forget about the community
organizational & conflict resolution processes that must
also occur in order to forge a future peaceful & sustainable
world.
Congressman Dennis Kucinich's
Department of Peace concept is an idea folks have taken up and
are meeting the challenge of building a more peaceful today.
Nationally and state by state individuals are getting together
to find ways to promote peace. See www.thepeacealliance.org and the thedepartmentofpeacenm.org for how you can
help build Departments of peace on the national and state level.
New Mexico is leading the way with concrete legislation in creating
a state wide dept. of peace.
Creating a Local Dept. of Peace
& Conflict Resolution offices/organizations in cities &
towns across the U.S. during this transition time toward a sustainable
world is a critical necessity. As weather changes & fuel
prices increase, many sociological, economic, environmental &
political changes will occur - food & water shortages; cost-of-living/goods
price increases; unemployment; gangs & crime would increase;
etc..
Imagine how a Local Dept. of
Peace & Conflict Resolution office/organization would provide
conflict resolution & information sharing services that would
facilitate a positive, peaceful approach to these problems, including:
better supply/food distribution systems; barter exchange systems;
conservation & alternative energy systems.
The creation of local community
supported gardens & farms; job-retraining programs and crime
prevention programs. Each local Dept. of Peace office would also
network & coordinate with other local, state & national
Dept. of Peace alliances to lobby for National & State Dept.
of Peace offices, as well as work with other Peace Organizations
on national & international issues/projects that would help
create a peaceful & sustainable world.
To help facilitate the creation
of Local Dept. of Peace branches throughout the country, Local
& National Peace Organizations could be asked to integrate
a local Dept. of Peace Branch into their organization.
Join us in working towards creating
a local Dept. of Peace in the Taos, New Mexico region with others.
If you interested in creating a local Dept. of Peace & Conflict
Resolution Center in your Community, and would like to network
with others who are also interested, please contact us at:
info@taosdepartmentofpeace.org
