Why?

Two reasons come to mind. The first is that all Peacemakers have accomplished something for the cause. A pilgrimage, walk, run, et al. This means that you, the Peacemaker, have put your feet on the street and your face in front of the world for all eyes to see that you are willing to make a sacrifice to bring peace and justice to this world. By giving you access to the Internet you can spread your message to the whole world!

Secondly, even Peacemakers have to eat. If you have something that can help provide resources for your existance and can sell these commodities or services over the Internet then Peacehq wants to help you do just that!

First, let's talk about the message.

The first message you have provided is being a Peacemaker on Peacehq by taking part in an action that was initiated in the cause of peace and justice. This is your Peacehq Profile. An example of a typical profile can be seen by clicking Robin MacRostie below.

Notice that Robin has a link to her business, Please visit CHOREO Graphic Design, on her profile. If you see links like this please visit them and support your fellow Pracemakers

Notice also that Robin has put her favorite quotation beneath this link. You can put any message you want in this area by going to My Peacehq which is on the left of Robin's Profile.

Now that you have seen how to put a message on your Profile let's examine some other ways to use the Internet to get your messages out. If you click the next link, My Peacehq, you will see the other options that Peacehq makes available for your use. When you open the My Peacehq page it will be helpfull if you minimize it so that you can call it up and look at it during the next set of instructions.

My Peacehq - Peacemakers On The Scene

In the left hand column there is a link named Submit A Peacemakers On The Scene Report . By submitting reports of actions you and other Peacemakers are accomplishing you are helping to spread the word. These are important to the cause and encourage others to join in. An example of this can be seen by clicking the next link.

Not In Our Name Protest, Cincinnati - 03/22/2003

   "Not a single word, cry, smile, prayer, run, walk, kiss, embrace, vigil, or act of civil resistance offered out of love for peace is lost"

These words from Brother Erik Johnson written while serving 6 months in jail for civil disobedience. By submitting Peacemakers On The Scene reports you will make sure that nothing is forgotten and show the whole world what we are doing in our efforts for peace.

My Peacehq - HMMMMM?

This is a web site that allows you to comment on anything you want. Once attached to your Profile it provides you a method of posting and sharing articles, reflections and commentary on whatever you would like to share with the world. An example can be seen by clicking the next link.

HMMMMM?

   "Not a single word, cry, smile, prayer, run, walk, kiss, embrace, vigil, or act of civil resistance offered out of love for peace is lost"

Remember these great words from Erik Johnson and keep in mind that these thoughts of yours are traveling over the entire world. You can change minds if you try!

My Peacehq - Web Sites For Peace

This is by far the most ambitious project that Peacehq is involved with. These sites are custom designed for you and will require some work by both parties to sucessfully create. The following are links to some of the current Web Sites For Peace.

Atlanto Dojo

Monk Krishnaman

Children Of The Sun Pilgrimage

Peace Porridge

In addition, if you become a "Prisoner Of Conscience" a special web site will be established for that will allow you to post your reflections while in prison. The following are examples of this site category.

Erik Johnson - Reflections From FCI Manchester

John Patrick Liteky - Reflections From The Crisp County Jail

You will not be alone! Even though imprisoned Peacehq will provide you an avenue to send your messages to all the peoples of the world.

That's about it for now friends. If you want to have your voice echo around the world you have a way to do it! Join in with Peacehq and spread the word, YOUR WORD!
