POPSThe World March for Peace and Nonviolence Why? Because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms. Because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species. Because we are accompanied by the voices of all the war-torn generations that came before us. The echo of their voices still resounds throughout the world, wherever armed conflict leaves its sinister memorial to the dead, disappeared, disabled and displaced. Because a “world without wars” is an image that opens the future and seeks to become reality in every corner of the planet, as violence gives way to dialog. The moment has come for the voiceless to be heard! Out of agonizing and urgent need, millions of human beings are crying out for an end to wars and violence. We can make that happen by uniting all the forces of pacifism and active non-violence worldwide.

POPSiPeace, uPeace, wePeace Together Whether you join the iPeace team directly or just take a moment now and then to consider the possibilities, please do take a moment of time and think about all those who do not have the freedom to express themselves as we do here, without paying a high price. Consider all of those who have nothing compared to our least something. And if you should be moved to please blog, post videos, write letters, share with your friends and family the joy and freedom of peace in your life. Because in that moment you will have done a great deal more than some to help make peace a reality. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
