It was once said that peace requires much more creativity than war: well, we plan to paint peace and love all over our campus and community!!

- to provide training workshops for student and community activists
- to collaborate with other peace organizations, such as Veterans for Peace, Code Pink, Iraq Vets Against the War, and Peace Action Maine
- to create a political sense of urgency regarding voting for those who prioritize peace as we do

- to bring much needed attention to the connection between the war and the economic crisis
