support to peacemakers working locally in situations of conflict.
- To inspire people and governments to discard violence in favor of
nonviolent action as a means of settling differences.
- To provide home communities with first-hand information and resources
for responding to worldwide situations of conflict, and to urge their
active involvement.
- To interpret a nonviolent perspective to the media.
