Peace & Leadership
Peace & Leadership is our initiative inspiring people, groups, and institutions to build pathways and bridges to connect and come together in community and mutual understanding, to become better leaders, and to lead towards peace and understanding.
Through our Peace & Leadership initiative, we will host programs that include peace & leadership forums, concert festivals for peace, dialogues & debates, conflict resolution workshops, art workshops, interfaith community events, and special initiatives to counter disinformation, in collaboration with trusted partners.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. - Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Peace Laureate
One of the big challenges we plan to aid with is the growing viciousness and violence on university campuses and cities, including the increasing incidents of antisemitism, and the rise of online violence, hate speech, and disinformation on social media and traditional media.
We must become the change we want to see in the world. We must embody peace.
How can there be peace without people understanding each other; and how can this be if they don't know each other? - Lester B. Pearson, Nobel Peace Laureate
