For What Noble Cause

On the eve before Veterans Day, we will be hosting a worship service / teach-in entitled "For What Noble Cause." Our speakers will include Nadia McCaffrey and Karen Meredith, two members of Goldstar Families for Peace who lost their sons in the Iraq War.

Please join us at the First Baptist Church of Palo Alto (305 N. California Avenue) at 7:00pm on November 10th. We'll pray, sing, and hear letters and stories from the front, from as far back as the War of Independence through today's war in Iraq. Throughout the evening, the prayers, songs, and stories will beg the question "For What Noble Cause?"

Producing Peace

Producing Peace - A Multifaith Social Action Workshop for Middle School Students

Our organization was delighted to have two Stanford students as interns, who put together a curriculum for Middle School students on issues of injustice and how they can take nonviolent action to create change. The program culminates in the students creating their own "street theater" skits.

The program was recently delivered at a Palo Alto Middle school. Click here to read a story from the Palo Alto Weekly.

If your school or organization would like to have this workshop offered for your youth, please contact us.
