Tulsa Peace Fellowship

There never was a good war or a bad peace. ~Ben Franklin

Members of Tulsa Peace Fellowship joined with Peace Alliance groups all over the US Friday, May 8th, to declare 'Peace Wants A Piece of the Pie' in honor of Mother's Day. TPF chose to deliver pies to members of the Tulsa Police Department's Gang Violence Task Force and to use the occasion to signal the benefits for reducing violence in the proposed legislation HR 1064, the Youth PROMISE Act, which will fund action to curb gang violence and promote non-violent alternatives.

TPF has offered to partner with Tulsa's Gang Violence Task Force in offering non-violence communication (NVC) education for Tulsa youth. TPF hopes that the legislation will be a first step towards a Nat'l Dept. of Peace and Non-Violence (DoPNV)

For this pie chart, you can see that peace and peaceful pursuits are grossly underfunded, or altogether missing, from the President's discretionary budget for 2009
