Welcome to the Peace Education Center! .    

 The PEC is hosting the band Bad Heart Bull at Gone Wired on Monday, July 6. Read more at our events page.

Read "Drafted at 19, Opposing Military Recruiters at 61 " in Sunday's New York Times, an article about a veteran's feelings on military recruiters in schools. Read about the Peace Education Center and Youth Outreach Program's counterrecruiting efforts here.

In the past year, we have spent time working for peace and justice in several different areas, including:

• Wrongful sentencing/ juvenile justice
• Engaging with the public and our representatives in Washington to change U.S. policy in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan
• Economic Justice
• Support of the Lansing Association for Human Rights
• The Campaign to Ban Cluster Bombs
• Continued engagement with area youth through the Youth Outreach! Program to provide complete and accurate information about military service, recruitment, privacy laws, and alternatives to military service
• and many more. Check out our events calendar to find out what's happening this month.
