January 15 – 22, 2012 marks the 3rd annual NY Peace Week, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s legacy of non-violence. Organized by LIFE Camp, Inc., the collective goal is to create a culture of peace throughout NYC for 7 days by hosting an event, performing an activity or simply taking one personal action toward creating inner peace and setting a positive example for youth.
Be it proposed that the idea of NY Peace Week expand to include all 50 states. We look to have President Barack Obama introduce a piece of legislation to have January 15-22 as National Peace Week.
Our nation deserves a week to encourage peace! Let this be for all the ones who were lost as a result to senseless violence in rural and urban areas and a call to end bullying.
We have to make peace as a lifestyle!
