Peace Bonds!

Do you remember the Bonds sold during WWI to finance our war effort? Well, now we can buy Peace Bonds! Yes, we can INVEST IN PEACE! Yay!

Two organizations, Nonviolent Peaceforce at www.buypeacebonds.com and Christian Peacemaker Teams at www.cpt.org, use the money to support Peace efforts in militarized areas, non violent intervention, public witness (a most effective way to promote Peace), reporting and advocacy.

So, if you are looking for a gift to honor someone's birthday, or, dare I say it in August, the holidays (only 136 shopping days 'til Christmas), buying a Peace bond is in sync with the true spirit of the season and a great way to invest in a Peaceful future.

Remember, Peace needs you! Buy a Peace Bond today!

Love,

Darlene
