Three years of work culminating in September 2015, under our auspices has resulted in the creation of the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission, a City of Ashland-sanctioned representative body to guide continuous peace-building in Ashland. The vision of a city in which the relationships among all its residents and between them and the environment they depend on are characterized by mutual respect and care is now official. Peace-building has moved from the periphery to the center of civic life.  See below the “Proclamation Culture of Peace” adopted by the City of Ashland. Read about the work being done by The Ashland Culture of Peace Commission.
