PEACE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
News about Grassroots Peace Activities in the USA
Issue No. 3 / 2005

Welcome to Issue 3 of Peace Across the Atlantic, a newsletter about peace and human rights campaigns and organizations in the United States. In this issue, we begin by highlighting groups and campaigns that have been particularly active in recent weeks. Then we present a mosaic of organizations that work for peace within the religious community or from a faith-based perspective.

We encourage you to share this issue with people in your groups and communities. We are very pleased when we hear that the information in Peace Across the Atlantic has been passed on. Already we know that our reports have been carried in magazines in Germany and Croatia, are being shared with radio audiences in Turkey, and have been posted on a number of web sites. We would love to get more feedback from you. What do you find helpful in Peace Across the Atlantic? How have you used the material?
