Thread Name: Anti-Conscription Movement
Subject: RE: Anti-Conscription Movement
This may bear posting, again, from a thread about peace, last year. Some ideas on how we can work for change. I have not checked the links for updates. I'll fix any that may not work. Thanks:

I would turn first to His Holiness, the Dalai Lama and also Sir John Templeton odd as that may seem. Another one would be Robert Fulghum. You may remember he advocated dropping "bombs" of colouring books and crayons in an essay on the healing of creativity and fun in one of his books.

I would also put the people at Peace Pilgrim at the top of the list of advisors and enactors.

Also, Women Waging Peace;

Women Building Peace;

Canadian Voice of Women for Peace;

People for Peace with lots of good links, esp. for kids;

And, not to be sexist: Men's International Peace Exchange;

Yamoussoukro Declaration of Peace in the Minds of Men UNESCO;

Men for Peace;

Interesting article and link to Pave for Peace;

Musicians4Peace takes a bit to load;

Musicians for Peace at PEACEZINE not for the faint at heart activism (warning, disturbing photo of war ravaged child);

RHYTHM WEB - Peace Through World Music.

If one enters "musicians for peace" in google, many smaller, individual orgs. come up.

There are a lot of people out there thinking the same thing and trying to pull it together, despite the politicians and big money fellahs.

In Peace Profound,
