HISTORY
Last September 11 marked the 100 year anniversary of when Gandhi launched his first nonviolent campaign giving birth to a global movement.

New Yorkers for a Department of Peace (NYDOP), in partnership with Arun Gandhi, the Peace Alliance and Sony Pictures, commemorated the occasion by organizing: 100 Years of Nonviolence: Gandhi and September 11, 1906-2006. We enrolled people from 64 venues (including 8 abroad) to participate in screenings of Richard Attenborough’s 1982 film Gandhi including a screening at Regal Cinema across from World Trade Center on September 11, 2006.

CHOOSE PEACE
This year we are launching CHOOSE PEACE, a series of events sponsored by New Yorkers for a Department of Peace that will be hosted around the world, honoring the 11 Days of Global Unity from Sept. 11-21. The CHOOSE PEACE campaign will raise awareness and funds for the Department of Peace Campaign.

September 11 represents a choice point for us as human beings; we can continue to choose violence, or we can choose proven strategies of prevention and peaceful conflict transformation. This September CHOOSE PEACE!

Special Thanks to our Sponsors, Heros and Helpers who made the 2006 campaign possible!
