“Karuna Center for Peacebuilding envisions a just and peaceful world in which difference is a source of creativity and strength. Our mission is to empower people divided by conflict to develop mutual understanding and to create sustainable peace…We work across deep divides to transform violent conflict: to foster reconciliation, interrupt cycles of violence, and strengthen community resilience. Through collaborations with local partners in conflict-affected areas, we help people discover their shared capacity for building peace. In many cases, participants go on to create their own local peacebuilding organizations and networks that remain Karuna Center partners. “ “At Keep America Beautiful, it’s our mission to inspire and educate people to take action every day to improve and beautify their community environment.

Daisy and Leonard along with other environmental mavericks of their day launched the Green Movement in South Florida.” Information on water pollution for children. “Did you know that the water we use today is the same water the dinosaurs used? We cannot create new water. For millions of years, the water we have has been used again and again. We have been able to do this because there are natural cycles that clean the water each time we use it.” “The environment is all around us, it includes our parks, ponds, oceans and mountains; and it is up to us to make sure that the Earth’s natural beauty is available for everyone to enjoy. Learning about our environment and taking positive actions to protect our Earth is one of the first steps in doing our part to be environmentally friendly. Everyone can help, no matter how big or how small; through recycling, energy conservation, and other small changes, we can work together to save the environment. There are so many fun and easy ways to help the environment. All of these small changes add up and can make a big impact on our world and encourage others to get involved and go green. Check out the links we’ve included below for more information, tips and games about how you can be more environmentally friendly.” “Kinder World is a non-profit initiative that is dedicated to encouraging compassion for animals by distributing educational videos online. It all started in 2011 when two of us who live in Israel decided to translate and distribute Gary Yourofsky’s speech in Israel. With the help of social media and effective marketing, we’ve managed to get the speech to go viral. The speech was so successful, that it is estimated that it inspired over 100 thousand Israelis to change their eating habits in order to help the animals. When we saw how one video was able to change so many hearts and minds, we understood the enormous potential of educational viral videos. That’s when we decided to make our Facebook page international and start distributing videos that encourage compassion for animals, to people in all countries.” “Kindred Spirits is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to ending the abuse and suffering of farm animals through rescue, advocacy and education. We seek to provide a place where people can connect with these sentient beings and discover their unique (and often humorous!) personalities. At Kindred Spirits, farm animals are our friends, not our food. We are passionate about helping others form bonds with these remarkable animals, and gladly give tours on scheduled days. Kindred Spirits Sanctuary invites you to come and give a pig a belly rub, or get a kiss from a cow! Volunteers are also welcome to join our “Work Parties” and are invaluable to our rescue work.” “a list of some of Dr. King’s most well known writings, speeches and sermons, as well as books by and about him.” (Martin Luther King Jr) “Takiwatanga Trust is a beautiful farm Sanctuary and rescue for ‘lifestyle’ animals. Set on private rural land Takiwantanga sanctuary aims to offer weekend farmstays to those with Autism and their carers. Caring for those with Autism is demanding and the stresses and up and downs of those living with Autism can take it’s toll. We aim to offer these families week or weekend short term breaks in our fully furnished guest wing, where they can live independently and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and interact with our many rescue animals. Meet Percy the peacock who comes every morning for his breakfast, or go pet the rescue horses, and watch the daily antics of the free range hens and geese. We also have ‘Patty’ a rescued Belgium Blue cow who comes to her name, and our gorgeous pigs, rescued too from an otherwise not so happy ending. Animals give so much unconditional love, and love to interact with humans, and give so much joy. “ “Our first program, the ongoing Lakota Child Rescue Project, launched in 2005 to address the actions we discovered, and to assist in the return of Lakota children to their families, tribes, and communities. This mission has expanded to include the creation of a tribal foster care program funded with direct Title IV-E funds from the federal government, bypassing the state of South Dakota. It was natural for us to expand our mission when the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL) threatened the Lakota’s sacred lands and water. The injustices perpetrated against the Lakota during the peaceful and prayerful resistance to DAPL further demonstrate the government’s blatant pattern of contempt and disregard for the Lakota and their sovereignty. LPLP engages in ongoing efforts to reclaim ancestral lands, and to stop all threats to Lakota land and resources. We believe that Native peoples possess inherent sovereignty and the right to autonomous rule and self-determination. The Lakota flourished for centuries before Europeans arrived on these lands, and their tradition of living in relation to all things is more important today than ever before. We are committed to working with the Lakota toward the revitalization of their people and culture.

We publish books for all wanting to live with greater depth and commitment to the preservation of the natural world.” “Founded in 1984 by Hollywood actor Chris DeRose, Last Chance For Animals (LCA) has its roots in fighting and exposing the inherent cruelty of vivisection. In the organization’s early years, DeRose led teams of dedicated activists employing non-violent strategies modeled after social movements led by such leaders as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr….With an increased budget and staff, LCA expanded its focus beyond vivisection. In the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, LCA has worked on virtually every animal rights issue, including farming, fur, and animals in entertainment.
