We, in P.E.A.C.E., value all life. Therefore, war is a tragedy for all, especially the children.
The tragedies that we are witnessing now worldwide must end to ensure a just, secure, and peaceful future for all. We need other solutions to conflict than war that help meet everyone’s needs.
All adults and children need to have their basic needs met. We need to provide security, protect children, ensure safe access to the supplies they need (food, water, shelter) and access to essential services, including education and medical. Our role with children is to provide opportunities for them to learn and practice skills to manage conflict, coming to just and peaceful solutions.
As P.E.A.C.E., we commit to use our voices to speak out against war everywhere it happens including: Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, and Sudan. Specifically, we support the provision of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. We also support ending this human tragedy and the need of Israel to abide by the United Nations resolution demanding a sustainable and permanent ceasefire.
