“The Roots of Violence: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics without principles. If we want to have peace in the world, we have to start with the children.”

— Mahatma Gandhi

The Peace Connection

 

Today we’re confronted with enormous challenges that are impacting us all regardless of financial status, religion and ethnicity – everything from environmental, energy, the global economy, and poverty to terrorism and social unrest. Peace plays a crucial role in creating the conditions necessary to effectively tackle these growing challenges because without peace we can’t survive much less thrive, particularly in a nuclear age. As humanity finds itself at a dangerous crossroads, promoting peace, healing and well-being for all people needs to be a top priority for the benefit of our children’s future.

 

Sadly, we’ve reached a point where we either win together or we lose together. We’re all in this together, therefore, we must find a way to come together.

 

Peace in the broader term is not limited to the absence of war. The destructive consequences of senseless violence made worse by a lack of tolerance, ignorance, and moral corruption both on the individual and global level, invariably contribute to social ills for which society has to pay in more ways than one.

 

In fact, the rising senseless violence, exploitation, and abuse in all forms to which millions of people and children in particular are subjected at home, in our schools, in the workplace, and worldwide, only highlight the urgent need to help people re-imagine a world beyond senseless violence by promoting the powerful message of peace, nonviolence, tolerance, and healing.

 

 

 

What We Do

 

We use our talent, passion and moral example to heal and regenerate America and our global family with the focus on peace, education, moral revitalization and women empowerment. We are armed with a new idea for social change, innovative solutions, dedication and entrepreneurial flair to make it real.

We aim to transform the world by elevating the level of our collective consciousness as the only real hope for achieving real change, healing, and unity. These are crucial for creating the conditions to stop the threat of total destruction and for achieving real peace, prosperity, and fulfillment both on the individual and global level.

We provide leadership, tools, and transformative information to help inspire social activism and restore hope. We offer innovative solutions to effectively tackle some of the most critical issues confronting us today from education, to the environment.

We harness the power of multi-media, celebrities, and music in order to accelerate the process of affecting change positively and making a meaningful impact.  We create awareness to the urgent need for promoting nonviolence, peace, and healing through education and moral revitalization.

We take action on critical issues like violence in all forms, and education, with “Cooperation Not Confrontation” bully prevention programs and an ongoing campaign of hope like “Stand Up for Peace and Education,” and the New American Public Schools Project.

We provide a unique humanitarian effort featuring a panel of inspiring celebrities, spiritual leaders, peace advocates, and a soul-stirring peace/inspirational song called For the Love of God written by Geela Parish.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the song will be donated to charitable organizations.

We also believe that young people can be a powerful force in shaping the world we live in today, and in making real change happen. 
In order to inspire a new generation of
social entrepreneurs and social activism
among young people, we’ve also launched
TEENS TRANSFORMING THE WORLD led by teen Ashley Parish.

The benefit to our communities is immeasurable both in terms of saving lives and billions of tax dollars, while contributing to safer and happier communities.

 

Why Do Women Offer the Best Hope for Changing the World?

 

History has shown that women can lead the way because, above all, women value connection and community. Mothers and women have always worked to change the world, one child and one family at a time while championing causes that impact communities everywhere. Now they are learning that together they can change the world - community by community, and even nation by nation. Moreover, we are witnessing a global emergence of the ‘feminine principle, or perhaps even more specifically a "maternalization" of politics, as mothers bring the issues that affect their children to the forefront of the national consciousness.

 

It’s been said that when you teach a woman to fish, everybody eats, and when women thrive, families and communities thrive. This is why it’s so important to empower women, as the cradles of life, true architects of change and guardians of our future.
