AI Overview

A culture of peace is a set of values, attitudes, and behaviors that reject violence and prevent conflicts through dialogue and negotiation. [1, 2]

The United Nations and UNESCO promote this framework as a way to replace a culture of war and dominance with cooperation and understanding. [1, 2, 3]

Key Principles

The United Nations Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace outlines eight main action areas: [1]

  • Education for peace: Teaching sharing, tolerance, and non-violence in schools.
  • Economic and social development: Supporting sustainable growth that benefits everyone.
  • Human rights: Protecting and respecting all human rights.
  • Gender equality: Ensuring equal rights and participation for women and men.
  • Democratic participation: Allowing people to take part in societal decisions.
  • Tolerance and solidarity: Accepting and appreciating differences among groups.
  • Free flow of information: Sharing knowledge openly and fairly.
  • Disarmament: Reducing weapons and military conflict. [1, 2]

How It Works in Daily Life

A culture of peace starts with individual actions rather than just international diplomacy. It involves listening instead of fighting, treating neighbors with respect, and solving family or community disagreements through calm talks. [1, 2, 3]

Dick: Last week, Trump announced U.S. forces have “knocked off … three boats” — indicating another unauthorized, lethal strike on vessels in the Caribbean.[1] That’s three strikes in less than three weeks.

At least 14 people have been killed, likely in violation of both U.S. and international laws. Trump and his cronies are stonewalling Congress’ efforts to get answers and troubling questions have emerged as to who was even on the boat, in addition to reports that the vessel was retreating from U.S. forces at the time of the attack.Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 makes it Congress’ responsibility to decide most questions involving the use of force — everything from putting U.S. troops in harm’s way to ordering airstrikes that kill. Dick, Congress never authorized these strikes — or any military action in the Caribbean.
We cannot let Trump get away with these unauthorized, unnecessary, and dangerous attacks. Luckily, we’re not alone: Champions in Congress are prepping and introducing a number of War Powers Resolutions to stop Trump. Now our job is to build support for each one and remind lawmakers that no one wants needless and lawless violence.

First up? S.J.Res.83, just introduced by Senators Schiff and Kaine.[2] Add your name now to urge the Senate to pass it and STOP Trump from starting a new, endless cycle of violence in Latin America. . . .

 

JEWISH VOICE FOR PEACE

 

Dear Dick,

 

Our organizing is having an impact. The latest example? A poll just released by Data for Progress shows that in one of New York City’s Congressional districts, support for the right-wing, pro-genocide lobby group AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is at negative 40 points, while support for Jewish Voice for Peace is positive 30 points.  

 

JVP and JVP Action are building mass outrage against the genocide and harnessing popular demands for an end to U.S. support to Israel.  

AIPAC and Israel’s other backers are scared of our power. That’s why the right is trying to shut our movement down: through legal attacks, surveillance, campus crackdowns, and more. 

We're not going anywhere — but JVP and JVP Action rely on supporters like you to help power this work. Will you start a monthly contribution to JVP Action today to keep up the pressure to end the genocide? Every dollar you give will be MATCHED for 12 months by an anonymous donor — but only until midnight tomorrow!
