Greetings to All,

On behalf of the Peace Alliance I want to invite you to join citizens from across the country on May 9th for the Peace of the Pie national action. In celebration of Mother's Day we will be bringing pies to the Offices of U.S. Congressional Representatives, and demonstrating support for legislation (H.R. 808) to create a cabinet level Department of Peace and Nonviolence.

We will bring these pies to Congress as a symbol of the way we share this country, and asking that the nation's institutions and budget reflect our desire that peace, conflict resolution and violence prevention may be included as top priorities for our nation and the world.

We will be holding conference calls to go over details about the action and answer any questions that you may have. If you want to participate in the action please join us on a call. Please find all conference call dates, times and details below this message.

We hope that you are able to make the call and participate in the action. Check out our website www.thepaecealliance.org for more information. Please feel free to forward this invitation to others who may be interested.

In Peace,

George

The Peace Alliance is a national nonpartisan citizen action organization representing a growing constituency for peace. A 501(c)4 organization established in May 2004, our mission is to empower civic activism for a culture of peace. Our vision is a future in which the practical programs and principles of peacebuilding are the bedrock of our personal, national and global interest and investment. Our goal is to take the field of peacebuilding from the margins of the political and societal dialogue and bring it to its rightful place: Central to our policymaking, investment and understanding. We achieve this primarily through a massive public education, outreach and citizen lobbying effort. Our current focus is the campaign for a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace. To learn more about the Peace Alliance and the campaign to establish a U.S. Department of Peace please visit our website at: www.thepeacealliance.org
