If we want less war,
Congress must invest in peacebuilding tools!
Request from
The horrendous war in Ukraine reminds us how important it is to spot and seize opportunities to prevent conflict and advance peace before fighting begins. The U.S. government has two key funds dedicated to peacebuilding. The Atrocities Prevention (AP) Fund allows the Department of State to support efforts to prevent mass atrocities and genocide. The Complex Crises Fund (CCF) is one of USAID’s most important quick-response tools to stem violence and plant seeds of peace.
In a time of growing instability, Congress must increase funding for peacebuilding. Tell Rep. Dean and Sens. Casey and Toomey: America must invest more in peace! Contact your members of Congress today to urge them to fully invest in these funds by including $60 million for the CCF and $25 million for the AP Fund in the FY23 Appropriations.

Peace beings with the smallest actions of love when most unexpected. Actions as brief as the wind from a doves wing.
