Children's International Peace Prize Winner: "If I were a world leader, I would create peace with these words"

Everywhere across these United States and around the globe, the voices of children are growing louder. Children who refuse to let gun violence rip through their classrooms, who refuse to accept politics as usual while the earth we inhabit becomes steadily uninhabitable, and children who have immeasurable power, dignity and purpose that can change the course of human events in unexpected ways.
Peace to the Planet provides kids with the platform to do just that. Find out how. And discover all the wonderful ways you can get involved! |

I realized that I was not the only child concerned with the well-being of the humanity on this earth. And I was encouraged that there was (and is) such a strong movement. It gave me inspiration enough to bring “peace” policies down to a personal sphere, and it (really did) give me more hope for peace. Leela Gilday, 1985 Children’s Peace Prize winner, Canada

"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children." — Mahatma Gandhi, Indian political and spiritual leader |
