A New Mission and Vision for the

Peace Literacy Institute

 

We base our mission and vision on an innovative diagnosis of the dangers facing humanity:

 

The most dangerous weapons in the twenty-first century are not bombs and bullets, but the weaponization of mistrust, alienation, rage, disillusionment, nihilism, cynicism, and other tangles of trauma, which make societies more unstable, and all forms of violence more likely.

 

Read here for our solutions to these problems as well as our strategy for implementing solutions, and the mission and vision that drives our work.

It's Official!

Many of you know how grueling the application process can be to register as a non-profit with the IRS, multiplied by many months during a pandemic. While we waited for our application to be processed, our work was sponsored by two other non-profits (PLF and PPF) who managed tax receipts for our donors and other IRS compliance issues. We are pleased to announce that in early January 2022 our application was accepted and the Peace Literacy Institute is now recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 86-1411853). Contributions to the Peace Literacy Institute are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. If you donated to us this past year, you should be getting tax receipts from either (or both) PLF and PPF soon! Let us know if you haven't received receipts by mid March.

We welcome your support

Your giving will help fund new curriculum and videos, our VR work with youth-at-risk here in the U.S. and in the Middle East, and our ongoing research into the most effective ways to teach peace in both traditional and VR classrooms.

Our world needs Peace Literacy now more than ever.
