Tri-District Taking Action for Peace
JOIN US!
Following the World Peace Conference 2017 in Ann Arbor, planning committee members from Districts 6380, 6400, and 6600 continued to work together to offer events. Peace in the Streets conferences followed in 2018 and 2019.
By 2020 peace friends in these 3 Districts were coming together to share events and ideas. With the advent of Covid, these became virtual events. We facilitated a variety of conversations and talked about important social issues.
When we could gather again, in 2022 we partied like peace advocates!
And focused on 1-day events:
We met with the Rag for Peace Executive Director and a former board member, who suggested we offer a webinar to better prepare attendees for having difficult conversations.
