Instigate Joy
The Waging Peace Project(tm) mission to activate justice and instigate joy is driven by how we show up as neighbors, coworkers, and citizens. When we tolerate violence and injustice we bankrupt our Joy—because everyone is in our jurisdiction to love.
How do we let love rather than fear drive our relationships?
By Building communities of belonging.
Centering our neighbors experiencing injustice, gun violence or homelessness by committing to show up for them is planting seeds of peace that grows into Belonging. Creating communities free of discrimination and dripping with equality. Free of injustice and drenched with joy. Giving everyone under the sun a reason to be celebrated.
Peace plants connections across lines of difference.
Belonging creates communities bulletproof to division, inequality and violence.
How do we know who belongs?
We Belong when we are protected from violence instead of vulnerable to it, welcomed instead of distrusted. Those who are in our jurisdiction of love and belonging know it because they are seen and celebrated.
We work for those on the margins to be free from violence and discrimination and instead be full of housing, hope and celebration. Disrupting the cycles of inequality and apathy is how we fight for our collective joy. Our joy is complete when we all have what we need to thrive.
