The Megiddo Peace Project is a local/global peact action scheduled for at and near, Megiddo, Israel April 22-26, 2000
"Transforming armageddon" Art for peace exhibit, gathering visions of peace from all the war zones of the world, inviting artists to create, contribute and loan art for peace, music and performance to turn the heart.
Hosting a "model peace conference," considering the war system as a whole all the interconnected questions that make up the big picture.
What really is necessary for peace: viable, workable, just, comprehensive, lasting?
Featuring the "megiddo peace table," receptive to all outstanding questions. Our purpose is to draw together, as much as we are able, the knowledge people have and ideas to create a beautiful image of how peace is possible, and what it is and could be and to move the image into political and cultural reality.
Megiddo is the place of armageddon, "the last war" it is an appropriate focus for looking at all the wars and how to make peace we consider this a collaborative artistic, spiritual and intellectual endeavor.
We invite participation.
In april 2000 we will present what has been gathered so far, hoping many peace seekers and activists will join in putting forward their works and perspectives.
A report of this process will be reflected to the world peace movements, with a model of local town meetings, democratic consultations, looking at how the global war system and culture of dominance impacts everyday life, and what people can do from the grassroots up
We plan to return to megiddo, in 2001, when the new millenium really begins, to continue this process, helping the convergence of allied understandings.
To participate, contribute or advise please contact: Odile Hugonot Haber or Alan Haber at megiddo@umich.edu

Today's Situation

"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
