peace projects

Join Code Pink and their activism call to the mothers of our nation and our world ... to change the way we live our lives. To change the way we raise our children . . . so that at no point is it ok for our sons and daughters to hit one another in the sandbox of this great planet of ours!

I wonder at what age, at what point to we go ahead and justify violence against one another without taking the steps as parents to intervene and help resolve conflicts amongst our children? My daughter's only 9, but I wonder if there will ever be a day when I say if asked for help: "No honey, I won't help you resolve your problem with another person. You have to do it for your self." The role of "Mom" has changed dramatically with the degradation of the family units here in the United States and the failure of our society to support traditional and alternative family structures.

Its time that we take a look at that role of "Mom" in our own homes, our community and our world, and come together once again. Let go of the pieces of the woman that inhibits the active role of mother in your life, and make being "Mom" a priority second to none once again.



peace & harmony,
