Think Globally, Act Locally
Peace is more than the absence of
war between nations. Violence, injustice and environmental degradation
are plagues that undermine the quality of life of the world�s inhabitants
every day and threaten humankind and the planet with ultimate extinction.
Working for peace is a way of life that recognizes
the value and sanctity of all life and actively seeks ways for us to live
in balance and harmony with each other and the planet.. Working together
to create real peace for all is the most important goal for humanity. By
becoming a member of the Peace Resource Center, you can join the community
of people in San Diego working for change.
What is the Peace Resource Center?
The PRC is a community clearinghouse of information
on peace and social justice issues and activities. By promoting networking
among peace-related organizations, offering nonviolent alternatives to
conflict resolution and carrying on a program of peace education, we provide
an ongoing presence throughout San Diego County.
Founded in 1980 by six local organizations committed
to peace, the Peace Resource Center now has over 40 member organizations
and hundreds of individual and family members. It is guided by the principles
of nonviolence, tolerance, compassion and respect for diversity. Membership
is open to all individuals and organizations concerned about peace with
justice and the need to live by these principles.
