The mission of the Peacedriven Campaign is to energize social activists
as well as empower a new generation to act. Our major concerns are
violence, human rights, poverty, education and environmental protection.
Do you have the drive?
In the words of Nobel laureate Wangari Mathaai: "Those of us who
understand the complexity of peace have the burden to act … we must not
tire, we must not give up, we must persist." These words are the
essence of Peacedriven.
The Peacedriven Campaign's main initiative is the annual Peacedriven Songwriting
Award, recognizing songwriters that use music to inspire social
change! Former winners include Daniel Nahmod, Holly Light and Jeff Sheppard.
Other programs include the Red Posts Project and Voices
on Violence children's book. Additional projects are in
development.
The Peacedriven Campaign*, led by director Anthony
Stokes, is the winner of
the Doublemint Grant from Venus and Serena Williams, Streetlaw's
National Youth Visionary Award, the YouthVenture Grant, and the UNC
Robert E. Bryan Fellowship.
