Take the Pledge for Peace!

The Louis D. Brown Peace Institute is committed to cultivating cycles of peace through uplifting the Seven Principles of Peace: Love, Unity, Faith, Hope, Courage, Justice and Forgiveness. The Pledge for Peace is part of the rich tradition of the LDBPI, and was one of the earliest calls-to-action in the organization’s founding. Now, decades later, we invite you all to recommit to these principles both in thought and action.
