“Peacemaking doesn’t mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set the oppressed and the oppressors free.”

Inspired Action and Connection

We believe and practice that strength comes from community and that by working together, we are better able to keep our energy focused on the values we live by.

Prescott Peacebuilders are a spirited group of women and men guided by the call to “follow your bliss,” a phrase made famous by mythologist and teacher Joseph Campbell. Campbell is one of the many wisdom keepers who inspire us, alongside voices like Joanna Macy, the Dalai Lama, Michael Meade, activist Valarie Kaur, and theologian Joan Chittister.

Though we come from different perspectives, we are united by a shared dedication to peace, justice, and creative expression of heart and mind.

Partnerships are key. We have worked with local organizations, such as The Launch Pad Teen Center, the MLK Peace and Justice Committee, and Prescott Indivisible, to promote positive community interactions. We are aligned with Prescott’s Coalition for Compassion and Justice, a recent working relationship that enables us to receive donations.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs… ask what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
