  Mobilization for Peace. Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Movement.
What is required is a total non-violent peaceful revolution that goes to the root of the problem and develops a strategy that pulls out the rug from underneath the feet of the those responsible for maintaining the hypermoral state of moral violence under the cloak of national security.

 The Promise of World Peace
Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth.
This paralysis is rooted, as we have stated, in a deep-seated conviction of the inevitable quarrelsomeness of mankind, which has led to the reluctance to entertain the possibility of subordinating national self-interest to the requirements of world order, and in an unwillingness to face courageously the far-reaching implications of establishing a united world authority.
For, in essence, peace stems from an inner state supported by a spiritual or moral attitude, and it is chiefly in evoking this attitude that the possibility of enduring solutions can be found.

Sectors of the peace movement that are often disconnected—veterans and anarchists, military families and longtime organizers—were able to sit together and talk, not only about strategy and long-term vision, but also about their lives and their work.
While we have taken great strides in confronting the problems that have plagued the peace movement, the public face of the “traditional” peace movement is still white and middle class, even as a vibrant antiwar movement has sprung up communities who don’t fit that narrow image.
With the doors of the established peace movement all too often appearing closed to newcomers, veterans’ organizations, military families and young people have begun, logically, to set up their own structures, organizations and long-term organizing strategies.
