The campaign recognizes the importance of supporting, creating awareness and connecting with our international neighbours that now call Kentucky home. Many in the international community have expressed a passion and a desire to connect with others they feel would support efforts to establish a U.S. Department of Peace and Non-Violence. And, because we recognize that so many have fled their homeland because of war and violence. Because we know the science of conflict resolution is a cutting edge science and that peace is possible.
