Organization: PEACE IS LOUD INC
Mission: PROVIDING A CREATIVE APPROACH TO CONFLICT PREVENTION, GENDER EQUALITY AND PEACEBUILDING THROUGH MEDIA, LIVE EVENTS AND STORYTELLING.
Activities: PEACE IS LOUD USES STORYTELLING TO ADVANCE SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT BUILDING, WITH A FOCUS ON WOMENS RIGHTS, GENDER JUSTICE, PEACE AND SECURITY. THEY BELIEVE PEACE CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH REPRESENTATION THAT TRULY REFLECTS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. FOR THIS REASON, PEACE IS LOUD IS COMMITTED TO SHARING THE STORIES OF THOSE WHOSE IDENTITIES INTERSECT WITH HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PEOPLE OF COLOR, INDIGENOUS/NATIVE PEOPLES, LGBTQIA PEOPLE, DISABLED PEOPLE, AND IMMIGRANTS. THEIR TWO-PRONGED STORYTELLING APPROACH -- ON STAGE AND ON SCREEN -- IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH A SPEAKERS BUREAU OF 30 WOMEN PEACEBUILDERS, AND THROUGH DOCUMENTARY FILM CAMPAIGNS THAT HIGHLIGHT THE STORIES OF WOMEN LEADING THEIR COMMUNITIES IN CONFRONTING VIOLENCE, FROM ACTS OF WAR TO SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES. ACROSS THIS WORK, PEACE IS LOUD IS MOBILIZING A GROUNDSWELL OF PEOPLE COMMITTED TO BUILDING A CULTURE OF PEACE. SEE SCHEDULE O.
