The interviews are combined with black & white portraits and showcased on a new website.
The project is designed to give a voice to those who strive for peace in our world. It is intended to help foster dialogue about peace in our community. For more information about the project, or to invite John Noltner to speak at your event, please email him at john AT apeaceofmymind DOT net.

Website: www.aqsamn.org
Mission Statement: (1) Al-Aqsa Institute is a community service
organization, incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota
, by Arab-American peoples, Muslim and Christian alike, that promotes
and works for a positive, well-informed awareness of the Middle
East focusing attention on Palestine, its history, its people,
its culture and its reality. It is committed to the belief that
alternatives to violence and military power can be found for a
just and permanent solution to the Palestinian/Israeli crisis.
(2) Its members seek to identify with oppressed peoples and to
embrace victims of oppression, to resist discrimination, racism
and the degradation of human life and rights and to be an unrelenting
instrument on behalf of human dignity. They, in particular, seek
recognition and validation of the human narrative to vindicate
the suffering of the Palestinian people to render them part of
an inclusive human history.
(3) Its members believe that the time has come for Muslims, Christians
and Jews to begin to dialogue, to pursue new avenues for peace
with justice, and to discover the common denominator on which their
shared humanity can act for peacemaking. The basis for such dialogue
is in the belief that all are human beings with equal rights without
one side dominating over the other. They honor all who stand for
the poor, the dispossessed, the oppressed, the powerless and all
who witness courageously to a vision of political and social change
in the cause of peace and justice in Palestine and Israel .
Membership: Al-Aqsa Institute is open to any person of good will,
men and women alike, with an interest in Palestine . It reaches
out to and welcomes youth with Palestinian ancestry.

Alternatives to War - St. Cloud Area

Website: http://alternativestowar.com/
The Alternatives to War Committee is a community of
people from the St. Cloud, MN area who are horrified and saddened
by the violence that occurred on September 11 and by the potential
devastation that continued violence poses to people throughout
the world.
- We believe in the values of freedom, democracy, and peace for
all people of the world and that these values are attainable
only with justice.
- We believe that unequal opportunity and the uneven distribution
of the planet's wealth induce violence.
- We believe that holding the perpetrators accountable for what
happened on 9/11 is essential to justice, but that violent responses
promote rather than end violence.
- We believe the violent response of war releases a potential
for harm to the earth and all its inhabitants that overwhelms
the imagination.
- We believe the process of identifying and promoting alternatives
to violence requires becoming informed by a wide range of perspectives
and questions.
- We believe that patriotism includes ongoing learning, educating
others, and dissenting from national policies that violate the
principles this country espouses.
Understanding that our commitment must be deep and
lasting, we meet regularly to find ways of putting these beliefs
into action. Join us. Folks are welcome to participate in our meetings
at Meeting Grounds, 1733 Pine Cone Road, Sartell 5:30 pm on the
first and third Thursday of the month. Sign up for our email listserve
at http://alternativestowar.com.
A peace vigil takes place each Saturday from 1 pm to
3pm at the intersection of highways 23 (15) and 75 (Barnes &Noble
corner). Participants are invited to commit whatever time they
can and, if possible, to bring a sign with a message supporting
the resolution of conflict through nonviolence. Please note: Parking
at Barnes &Noble by non-customers could result in towing.

CRC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We operate with a small office staff and a committed group of volunteers that provide all of our mediation services.
The mission of CRC is to:
Strengthen communities by teaching and providing mediation and conflict resolution services. For over 25 years, CRC has provided communities with the tools to peacefully and effectively resolve disputes.
CRC is dedicated to providing dispute resolution services and training to all people, especially those who cannot afford traditional services offered through the courts. We focus on serving those for whom traditional services have not worked in the past because they did not address underlying issues or were not culturally appropriate. Mediation used earlier in the dispute process can prevent the need for further intervention on the part of city departments, the police, or courts – thus saving valuable resources and tax dollars.

The Vincent L. Hawkinson Foundation for Peace

Vincent L. Hawkinson, a lifelong advocate for peace. Hawkinson
served as pastor of Grace University Lutheran Church for more
than 30 years. He was a community leader who witnessed courageously
to a vision of political and social change. He vigorously advocated
peacemaking and racial equality and stood up for the poor, the
oppressed and the powerless. He died in 2001 at age 86.
The Foundation was founded on the belief that alternatives
to violence and the use of military power must be found for a permanent
resolution of interpersonal and global conflict. Seeking new avenues
to peace and justice was Pastor Hawkinson's life work. The Foundation
keeps his dream alive by granting scholarships to students who
have demonstrated a commitment to peace and justice and by honoring
those who pursue these beliefs.

We are Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring Palestine-centric education to Minnesota in order to promote justice and human rights.
We believe:
We, the people of Minnesota, have the moral obligation to make sound investments that will not aid the oppression of any one race, creed or people. Minnesota’s investment in Israel supports an apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that causes thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and which involves the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies a ruling by the International Court of Justice as well as more than 65 UN Resolutions, and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention. We demand that the state of Minnesota act on its good conscience and support the breaking of economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel.
We say, Minnesota divest from Israel Bonds, Divest for Justice in Palestine!

Minnesota Move to Amend is part of a nationwide coalition dedicated to ending the illegitimate legal doctrines that prevent the American people from governing themselves. We work toward the goal of amending the constitution to reverse the legal status given to corporations, that of being "persons", with all the rights of individuals. This fact is most recently established by the United States Supreme Court in the decision known as Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission. In that January 2010 decision, the court established that money is speech and that corporations may spend unlimited amounts of it to influence elections because they as "persons" cannot be denied their free speech. We and the four dissenting justices believe this is nonsense. You should join us to keep informed of events as they happen, to participate in activities that will help reverse the decision and to support the work of "We the People" in our efforts to re-establish actual democracy in America.

Minnesota Peace Project (MPP) is a statewide network of peace activists working to build a more peaceful world by influencing US foreign policy through our Congressional Representatives. We believe that the US must move from a reliance on military & economic domination to a strategy of partnership through diplomacy and development.
With volunteer coordinators in each Congressional District, the MP seeks to develop long-term relationships between constituent peace advocates and their Congressional representative and staff members.
Our Peace Agenda provides a broad platform of systemic changes that will be our focus. We bring perspectives and information to Congressional members that might otherwise be suppressed by special interest groups such as the weapons industry.

Our Vision: To return our climate to the safe level of 350ppm of CO2 - or lower - in a way that best promotes a just and livable future.
MN350 believes this change in our climate will be achieved through a fundamental shift in our society, such that climate justice and sustainability for all living species is the lens by which all behavioral, political, economic, and social decisions are made.
Mission: To inspire Minnesotans to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis: to create a new sense of urgency and possibility for our planet.
MN350 knits many efforts together in a powerful and unified call to action--a call that is global, scientific, and relational. We work to build a social movement by empowering individuals, groups and communities to act collectively in addressing the climate crisis.
As we consider both the sense of urgency and the possibility for our planet, MN350 believes that the transition to a low-carbon future is most likely to occur in conjunction with the following:
*parallel development of new models to replace our dependence on fossil fuels
*deep personal and communal changes that shift the collective consciousness of our society
MN350 participates in and supports a broad range of activities that focus on both these new models and the collective consciousness.

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) promotes and implements unarmed civilian peacekeeping as a tool for reducing violence and protecting civilians in situations of violent conflict. Currently, field teams are in Mindanao, the Philippines, Myanmar, the South Caucasus and South Sudan.
NP envisions a world in which large-scale unarmed civilian peacekeeping as used in the field by NP peacekeepers is recognized as a viable alternative in preventing, addressing, and mitigating violent conflicts worldwide, and this concept is gaining interest at the United Nations.
NP most often respond to invitations by credible local organizations or governments committed to nonviolent solutions. Once invited, we meet key players, including commanders from opposing sides, local police, religious, business, and civil society leaders. We live and work in communities within conflict zones alongside local people.
Sources of financial support: Foundations, religious organizations, individuals, governments, UNICEF and the U.S. Institute of Peace.

A peace-nonviolence cultural diversity course taught at Mpls high schools.
After looking at the research on Peace Education, the author has concluded that it is time for school administrators and teachers to implement a curriculum for Peace Education. This means not just teaching about peace and providing information on peace problems. It means implementing the methods and means where by peace can be practiced in the classroom. Peace must be openly espoused and taught to our students. We cannot depend on subliminal, incidental learning or hidden curriculum. Peace must be actively pursued by both teachers and students in all parts of educational system. Peace must become an inter-disciplinary exercise in order to be integrated into our attitude and behavior.

Website: www.hawkinsonfoundation.org
The Vincent L. Hawkinson Foundation for Peace

Vincent L. Hawkinson, a lifelong advocate for peace. Hawkinson
served as pastor of Grace University Lutheran Church for more
than 30 years. He was a community leader who witnessed courageously
to a vision of political and social change. He vigorously advocated
peacemaking and racial equality and stood up for the poor, the
oppressed and the powerless. He died in 2001 at age 86.
The Foundation was founded on the belief that alternatives
to violence and the use of military power must be found for a permanent
resolution of interpersonal and global conflict. Seeking new avenues
to peace and justice was Pastor Hawkinson's life work. The Foundation
keeps his dream alive by granting scholarships to students who
have demonstrated a commitment to peace and justice and by honoring
those who pursue these beliefs.
