May - December 2010 "We Refuse to be enemies "
On April 25th 2010, PeaceMakers from area mosques, synagogues, and churches broke the myth that Muslim, Jew, Christian and others can not work together for peace. Inspired by the documentary film "The Billboard From Bethlehem" the multi-denominational group hand painted their own billboard for posting on the interstate highways of Connecticut.
I-95 and I-84 in 2010 "We're All In This Together"
The wealth of our planet is immeasurable, but to whom much is given, much is expected. As peacemakers, we take care of each other by taking care of the planet earth. Most wars are fought over our limited resources (Water, Oil, Farm Land, Mineral Wealth, Fish, and Forest Timber) As the worlds largest consumer nation, Americans become peace makers when we end the reckless overdevelopment and destruction of our natural resources, and begin leading the world in conserving our oil and water supplies, estuaries, and fisheries. We are citizens not only of our towns and cities, not only of our nations; we are Global Citizens of the Planet Earth. "We're all in this together" is an awareness campaign that fosters our sense of Global Community.
