On May 12th, tell Congress that PEACE wants a PIECE of the PIE! Ask your U.S. Representatives to support HR 3760 and Senators to support S1756 to establish a cabinet-level Dept of Peace to begin focusing on proven effective programs that reduce violence. Join us on May 12th (the Friday before Mother's Day), with pie in hand and/or Mother's Day cards and come to the Mickey Leland Building, 1919 Smith St., front entrance on Friday at 11 AM. We are expecting press coverage, so we need a good turnout. And also call your Members of Congress on Friday and ask for 1% of the U.S. budget to create a Department that will research, articulate and facilitate nonviolent solutions to domestic and international causes of violence. Call Senators in D.C. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 or http://www.congress.org for Representative's local numbers. Ask them to put a focus on reducing violence by cosponsoring HR 3760 or S1756 to establish a Dept of Peace.
