Mission:
Estes Park Patriots for Peace creatively
promotes alternatives to violence and war, and supports
individual and community actions to build a culture of peace.
Description:
Our group formed in 2003 as local citizens
gathered in silent prayer vigils for peace before the start of
the war in Iraq. We are veterans, homemakers, business owners,
teachers, students, clergy, and retirees -- your friends and
neighbors in Estes Park, Colorado. Our programs include
community education through films, discussions, guest speakers,
forums and the arts. We believe we must use peaceful means to
bring about peace in our world. We encourage greater activism to
affect attitudes and actions promoting a peaceful future.
We sponsor a weekly peace vigil, a monthly
meeting to review and plan our actions, and usually a monthly
film and discussion or other special community event. See
calendar listings.
We believe it is our patriotic duty to speak up
in the face of actions which betray the founding principles of
our country. We believe loyal opposition is the mark of a
patriot, and principled dissent the obligation of every American
citizen. We believe the voices and actions of concerned citizens
can bring positive changes!
Purpose:
The purpose of our group is to develop and carry
out educational and charitable community awareness programs
which build a culture of peace. We are a non-profit,
non-partisan, grass-roots, community-based organization open to
all interested persons. We work with other peace, justice and
veterans’ groups to achieve non-violent social change in Larimer
County, Colorado and beyond.
