The recent U.S. presidential campaign and election shows a widespread desire or determination for meaningful change in society.
This is an opportunity for further empowering the peace movement and actually bringing lasting change.

Here is a short plan I've drafted, showing what it seems peace supporters must do in order to achieve this.

Peace Movement Empowerment (draft)
1. Ask Peace supporters to form a Peace Movement Empowerment Circle;
2. PME Circle promote careers that support world peace & boycott careers that support the culture of war and greed;
3. PME Circle elect a majority of Peace supporters to government offices.

1. Define & identify peace groups & compatible people; then decide how to self-organize; then self-organize/coordinate existing peace groups & compatible people in PME Circle;
- Peace groups support nonviolence and boycott violence in society;
- Compatible people do not support violence in society;
- Proper organizing must be non-authoritarian;
- Peace groups can self-organize by exchanging representatives and coordinating intergroup plans;
- Compatible people & groups can exchange representatives with peace groups' outer circle groups;
- Outer circle groups exchange representatives with inner circle groups;
2. Identify  peace & non-peace careers; then promote peace careers & boycott non-peace careers;
- Peace careers are: -- 1. Freedom Philosophy & Activism; -- 2. Natural Diet & Healthcare; -- 3. Permaculture & Organic Growing; -- 4. Alternative Technology; -- 5. Arts & Crafts; 6. Alternative Finance; etc.
- Non-peace careers include:
-- 1. Authoritarian Philosophy & Activism;
-- 2. all Big Businesses whose owners support Authoritarianism, Violence and War, including (1) Big Banks & Law Firms, (2) Major Media, (3) War Industry, (4) Prison Industry, (5) Drug Companies, (6) Agribusiness, (7) Big Food Companies, (8) Major Manufacturers etc;
-- 3. Governments that support pre-emptive war, inhumane imprisonment, or other authoritarianism;
-- 4. Schools that support compulsory education, the war industry, or other authoritarianism;
3. Replace non-peace supporters in government etc with peace supporters;
- This likely requires that Peace supporters, which seems to include primarily Progressives/Liberals and Libertarians, co-operate with each other much better than they have in the past; so the PME Circle should encourage such co-operation, such as by encouraging discussions about settling differences.

MAIN HELP NEEDED
- The main tasks that would need doing for this seem to be message forwarding, phone calling, teaching and website design.
- CALL or EMAIL: Someone needs to call or email Peace groups and Peace supporters to ask them to join the Peace Movement Empowerment Circle; the Circle could interact mostly online.
- TEACH, ADVISE, or ASSIST: Someone needs to teach or provide info to people about Peace Careers (like those listed above) and why & how to help the peace movement.
- WEBSITE DESIGN: Someone needs to design websites so as to maximize effective interaction among users.

UNITY FOR PEACE

Unite for Peace and Justice is serious about UNITY.

We want to unite all peace-loving people, starting with U.S. voters, to vote for peace candidates and end imperialism, which is the cause of terrorism, as war mongers and profiteers collaborate with the highest levels of terrorist organizations via covert operations. Peace can only come by peaceful means.

PEACEFUL MEANS

We want to unite Progressives, Libertarians, Greens, pro-peace voters and others via the most humane and effective form of governance known, called IDM or Integrative Decision Making, which is unanimous rule, or consensus decision making, the Native Council methods typical  of natives of the Americas, Africa & the Pacific region, & Quakers, sociocracy being a scientifically developed version. See the next page on Effective Action for details. Also see www.sociocracy.info and www.CNVC.org, which latter supports nonviolence and promotes IDM as sociocracy. This form of decision making prevents any faction from dominating other factions within a group, organization, or society. True peace can only come by peaceful means. Majority rule is not peaceful, but merely expedient for those who prefer to dominate people. See also www.freewebs.com/codaplus.

OUR BOOK

I feel that our book, described on later pages of this site, is a great example of collaboration among Progressive, Libertarian and other activist writers. Many have published at www.lewrockwell.com and www.antiwar.com.

EFFECTIVE ACTION - REST OF THIS PAGE IS JUST IDEAS SO FAR [See later pages]

NEW PEACE GAMES

We now have several Games with instructions given on one of the following webpages for learning IDM. Life is supposed to be fun and play is how people are supposed to learn. These peace games will help to make the peace movement fun and that will attract the common people.

SD LIBS - Libertarians have several projects for gaining political power in several smaller states, such as NH, VT, MT, WY etc. SD Libs is a similar effort for all peace supporters as described above, not just libertarians, to gain greater influence in government, starting in South Dakota and using sociocracy for unity. We have a forum discussing such ideas at www.yahoogroups.com/group/IdealDay.  Our last real presidential peace candidate from a major party was from South Dakota, George McGovern in 1972.
