We encourage you to support HR1111-Department of Peacebuilding of 2015. In a worldwide culture of violence, the US needs to be a leader in creating a culture of peace. Proactive policies rather than reactive are needed in a world where war is commonplace. Budgets should emulate the importance of violence prevention and education rather than militarization. Government Peacemakers should have tables in high school Commons instead of the Armed Forces. As Martin Luther King Jr said in "A Time To Break Silence, "A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war, 'This way of settling differences is not just.'
