Establishing a Department Of Peace
The Peace Alliance's campaign to
establish a Department of Peace needs our help in getting this legislation passed.
Participate
in an historic citizen lobbying effort to create a U.S. Department of Peace. There is currently a bill before both Houses
of Congress. This landmark measure will augment our current problem-solving options, providing practical, nonviolent solutions
to the problems of domestic and international conflict.
Domestically,
the Department of Peace will develop policies and allocate resources to effectively reduce the levels of domestic and gang
violence, child abuse, and various other forms of societal discord. Internationally, the Department will advise the President
and Congress on the most sophisticated ideas and techniques regarding peace-creation among nations. Learn more...
Join us now. Create a Department
of Peace.
Bill number update: As of 2007, we have a new Congress (the 110th). Therefore, the legislation to establish a
Department of Peace will need to be re-introduced. This will happen in early February of 2007. In the meantime,
the previous bill numbers from the 109th Congress, House Resolution 3760 and Senate 1756, can still be used as a reference
when urging your members of Congress to sign on as co-sponsors for the bills re-introduction.

| On September 22nd, 2005, Senator
Mark Dayton (D-MN) introduced the Department of Peace legislation into the U.S. Senate. This is a huge moment for our campaign,
and for the future of the Department of Peace! Senator Dayton’s leadership and enthusiastic support will take us to
the next level in our work to establish this historic legislation for peace into an organizing structure in our government.
