Goals
Our goal is to establish a peaceful planet across all peoples, regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender or their political, or religious views. Our foundation aims to raise awareness and share information, strategies, and ways in which individuals and communities can take action to foster and maintain peace.
Our essential premise is that all humans are endowed with a spirit that is striving to be fed and this drives our behavior. A spirit driven with the goal of peace, and knowledge of how to achieve it, will be our driving force. Hence, our slogan – Peace, let it begin with me.
Modern technology supporting social media presents a unique opportunity that we have never had before to go across the world and reach individuals everywhere who can be united in this mission of peace. Individuals in different societies will determine the best way they can foster peace in their communities, and provide an example for others. In this way a diversity of people can join together in accomplishing our mission.
Our foundation will be the vehicle for groups around the world fostering peace to communicate which of their efforts have been successful and which were not as successful. In this way we can all learn the magic formula for peace on earth. Our foundation will provide support to communities and grassroots advocacy groups having a goal of fostering and maintaining peace across religious and political lines.
Principles
Our overriding principle is the prevention of violence and subjugation, which fundamentally destroys peace.
Applying this principle to individuals is rather simple. Here are the basics:
- Prevent bodily & physical harm.
- Honor integrity.
- Respect all ways of life that do not cause harm to others.
- Respect opposing views and prevent subjugation of individuals that do not conflict with 1,2 or 3 above.
Regarding governments and religious entities, we are not about determining or promoting the ideal or best form. We support all forms that foster peace. Our fundamental goal is simply to encourage our political and religious leaders to 1), support the principles for individuals listed above, and 2), respect these principles outside the boundaries of the applicable governing or religious body.
