Just Peace
Just Peace is the official newsmagazine of the FCPJ. Published twice a year, Just Peace is a forum for alternative thoughts and ideas not normally offered to the general public. Quite often, we receive articles and letters that are included in the publication. It is testimony to the value of submitting letters to the editor as a means of stimulating thought and raising awareness amongst the general public.
Peace Camp
At Peace Camp we are a multi-cultural gathering of youth and adults who come together to find ways in which our lives can make a difference. We learn the joy and benefit of serving each other in order to enrich our week-long Peace Camp community and our lifelong global community. We learn to use creative nonviolent methods to achieve justice and equity as an outcome of the way we live our lives.
Keep Space for Peace
Global Network was founded in 1982 by the joint efforts of the FCPJ, Citizens for Peace in Space (Colorado Springs) and New York-based Journalism professor Karl Grossman. Since its 1992 founding, the GN has met each year in order to bring together key activists who are working on, or are interested in space issues. It was the intention of the founders to create an organization that would serve as a clearinghouse for space issues and act as a spark to ignite education and organizing in order to build an international citizens movement.
