MICHIGAN
PEACE
TEAM (MPT) empowers people to engage in active
nonviolent peacemaking.
MPT was started in 1993, in response to the
growing need for civilian peace-makers both in the U.S. and abroad.
We offer nonviolence training workshops and
provide opportunities to join peace teams.
We seek a just world grounded in nonviolence
and respect for the sacred interconnectedness of all life. |

"Strike against war, for without you no
battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and
all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and
misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of
destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction."-- Helen Keller, 1940
