Hope Story Circle celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Dept of Peacebuilding campaign! - July 10, 2021

An inspiring weekend, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the legislation to create a cabinet-level Department of Peacebuilding in our federal government. Our special guest speakers were Matthew Albracht, Judy Kimmel and Nancy Merritt  sharing stories about how the concept and campaign began, and experiences throughout the years. We also had many long-time supporters of the Department of Peacebuilding attending, who shared some thoughts after the break-out. This has been a journey of hope, determination, persistence centered in the core belief that peace is possible. The inquiry for the group was to share about deeply held ideals that were hoped for, when an “aha!" moment happens and the overwhelming feeling of really wanting to make something happen occurs. Hope, intention, and a vision. July 11th presents a special event with Dennis Kucinich and Marianne Williamson, celebrating the anniversary of this special legislation, originally authored by former Congressman Kucinich 20 years ago.
