Without justice, there can be no peace. Without acknowledgement of the sacredness of ALL life on this planet, there can be no peace.

Since 1978, the non-profit Traprock Center for Peace and Justice has provided leadership to end war and militarism and increasingly to address gender, racial, economic and environmental justice issues locally and beyond, with an emphasis on youth.

In our work we are pursuing the creation of an ecosystem of peace through our efforts to uphold values of dignity, diversity, and inclusivity of all life, while holding ourselves accountable to restore systems of justice and security for all. Our work seeks to reject the current structures that perpetuate war, oppression and racism, not just to resist these frameworks and the underlying ideologies by saying "NO," but by taking action.

Imperialism and capitalism drive the over extraction of human and natural resources that lead to inequality and destruction of our planet. Perpetuating these systems through incentivization and individual material gains usurps the place of the common, communal and egalitarian systems in sustainable societies. Wars will never end as long as people are willing to die for a pay check and for a leg up to get them ahead.

Our purpose, and our work in the peace movement seeks to oppose imperialism and rampant militarism and oppression to unite our struggles against this common enemy to ensure a more just and equitable future for all. We will do this by creating new systems that focus on dignity, power in the hands of the workers, and embracing diversity.
