Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy, Education, International, International Peace & Security
Mission: To pursue peace through active nonviolence in places of conflict.
Programs: Michigan peace team seeks to maintain our long-term presence in palestine/israel and to stabilize our presence in juarez, mexico or a new international location and also to respond to the ever-increasing requests for nonviolence training and peace teams within the united states. Michigan peace team will achieve these goals by increasing the number of trained nonviolence trainers thus increasing the number of workshops offered annually and maximizing the pool of potential peace team participants. We also need to recruit experienced team leaders to accompany teams. We refer to these as "anchors. " we have increased our number of nonviolence trainers as well as international team trainers.
we were able to offer nonviolence skills training to people trained in nonviolence skills and prepared to participate in peace teams. It is difficult to ascertain how many people this peace team's work has affected; not only are there people we come in direct contact with as we engage in third-party nonviolent intervention work, but also those who are affected indirectly as they read our articles and blog postings about the impact this work is having - further reinforcing the precept that "nonviolence works.
