HR 1111 Dept of Peacebuilding Act Introduced 2/18/21

[Nancy]

On Yoko Ono's birthday this year, 2/18/21, House Rep. Barbara Lee introduced (as she's been doing for several years in a row) the Dept.of Peacebuilding Act, HR 1111. I called my House Rep, Adam Schiff, this morning and ask him to co-sponsor this bill. (Voice mail only per COVID). Brian, I don't know how to use this site so if you want me to relocate or delete or if - as Rachel Maddow would say - "I got any of this wrong" - about the Act, inappropriate posting, whatever, feel free to do whatever or get me to do whatever needs to be done to get this right. Love, Peace and Happy Vaccinating Everyone!

OMG, thank you, Nancy. This is so perfect and especially timely. And as Rachel also sez, "Watch this space." I'm sure there'll be more news about HR 1111.

No organization has done more than the Peace Alliance to promote a cabinet level Department of Peacebuilding, working with Rep. Barbara Lee for the past 20 years. This is the Peace Alliance's webpage with more information:
