Community of Peace People
The "Community of Peace People" is a grassroots organization founded in 1976 in Northern Ireland by Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan. It emerged in response to the violence and conflict during the Troubles, aiming to promote peace and reconciliation among communities. The group emphasizes non-violence and dialogue, encouraging individuals to work together to resolve differences.
The organization has organized various initiatives, including peace marches and educational programs, to foster understanding and cooperation. It seeks to empower individuals to take action for peace in their own communities, advocating for a society where conflict is resolved through peaceful means rather than violence.
