More Information for Peace - Mindful People
Whether you tend to lean to the left or the right, the value of peace crosses borders. Peace and justice are not issues owned by the left or the right, or most any other cultural division we observe. The information we've collected here below addresses peace and justice from many angles. We do not endorse everything listed here, but we provide it as a resource to you. You may find some of the information here of interest to you (and some of it, perhaps not). Not every connection will be of equal value to everyone. Take a few moments to browse through these notes. We hope you will find something that encourages or inspires you.
