   Petition the UN General Assembly to:

STOP THE WAR NOW!!

  The Carlisle Peace College is sponsoring a Campaign to let the
President know that we will hold him and his Administration personally
responsible for the deaths of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of
innocent Iraqi civilians if he attacks Iraq. Such an attack, without
Security Council approval, would clearly be in violation of the UN
Charter and of the Geneva Conventions. A similar letter has been
signed by 100 law professors and sent to the President by the Center
for Constitutional Rights, see www.ccr-ny.org.

the President.

 People the world over are hungry for peace. If peace is what people want, why not educate them about how to get it?

The Carlisle Peace College was founded as a a direct response to the presence of the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The Carlisle Peace College held its first weekend conclave in November of 2001. Speakers from Voices in the Wilderness, Women in Black, Nonviolent Peace Force, Israeli peace activists and faith-based organizations like Christian Peacemaker Teams and Catholic Workers met in Carlisle, Pennsylvania with members of church congregations and community peace activists to share experiences gathered from intervention and peacemaking in conflict situations.

The Carlisle Peace College has continued from that time as an alliance of individuals and organizations from central Pennsylvania working together to build a world of peace with justice. Details about public peace vigils and other CPC sponsored meetings, seminars and events can be found on the Calendar.

The Carlisle Peace College curriculum is presented as a "school without walls." Many articles, books, videotapes, and links to other peace organizations can be found on our website. These resources, plus our Speakers Bureau, are provided to help you raise your awareness about vital peace issues; organize your own peace and justice seminars; and become strong activists in governmental decision making.

Addressing the root causes of war, especially economic injustice and conflicts over ownership and control of oil, land and other natural resources, is one important focus of our peace work. Several of us are currently working to engage officers, professors, and interns at the Army War College and other public institutions in discussions concerning US foreign policy, globalization and the so-called "neo-liberal economics agenda."

The Carlisle Peace College stands as a part of a global movement of peacemakers engaged in nonviolent direct action to end oppression and promote social, economic and environmental justice. We advocate:

Non-violent approaches to conflict resolution
The rule of law in resolving disputes
Local to global economic justice
Public awareness of responsibility for official violence
Community involvement in public policy
Policies for disarmament and decreasing military spending
The establishment of a US Department of Peace.
