The Peace Project
The Peace Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending hatred through the creation of change-promoting communications aimed at perpetrators, bystanders and victims of hateful speech and action.

We prioritize social awareness, research, and involving policymakers to create a more direct response. Social media has proven to be an amazing tool for sharing information, but the popular apps and sites where information is shared are cluttered and chaotic. We aim to help develop and coordinate socially aware individuals and provide them with scholarly resources and tools to engage in a proactive campaign against injustice.
