Today is #PeaceDay! Last week on #DemocracyDay, we launched a campaign to support our US work—because we believe healthy democracy is integral to lasting peace.

During #Kwibuka31 our hearts go out to our friends and partners in Rwanda. We honor each precious life lost during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi—and we honor the courage and leadership of all Rwandans who are healing from the genocide and working to build a more peaceful future today. 1/2

It has never been more important to bring people from different walks of life together to safeguard our common future, and build communities in which all people are treated with dignity and respect.

#localpeacebuilding

Every day, local peacebuilders around the world are preventing the spread of violence & healing communities on the frontlines of conflict.

The cuts/freeze in US govt funding have disrupted many projects. But we & our partners are sticking together & supporting each other. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿 1/3

Reaching out to build community generates hope—not as a passive sentiment, but as an active, transformative force.✨
