PeaceMaker Minnesota – “PeaceMaker provides schools committed to teaching social emotional skills and ensuring a safe learning environment a framework for success and support in developing greater resources for their work. PeaceMaker provides individuals and organizations opportunities for helping kids in their communities learn things like cooperation, kindness, respect, and positive conflict resolution skills.”

OutFrontMN – “OutFront Minnesota’s mission is to create a state where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are free to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of violence, harassment or discrimination.”

I Declare World Peace – “The I Declare World Peace project is the world’s largest ever art project / sort-of-science experiment. There is nothing to register for or to join. Participation is free and at will. While the I Declare World Peace project morally supports and encourages the efforts and goals of every other well-intentioned peace promoting endeavor, our project is based on principles of the “do less and accomplish more” variety. So, the I Declare World Peace project requires almost nothing of those who choose to participate in it – we ask only that you periodically think the affirmation “I Declare World Peace” and from time to time post it and otherwise promote the affirmation on social media and elsewhere.”
