May 25, 2026 / Gary Ghirardi / Peace Educators Allied for Children Everywhere (P.E.A.C.E.) - In early‑childhood education, we often talk about the environments that shape a child's sense of safety, belonging, and possibility. We know that children learn not only from what adults teach them, but from the stories, symbols, and expectations that surround them.

March 30, 2026 / NNOMY staff / The National Network Opposing the Militarization of Youth (NNOMY) - A mind stops accepting endless war when young people begin to see themselves not as spectators to global violence, but as builders of something better. This shift rarely begins in policy debates or news cycles. It begins in neighborhoods, school hallways, community centers, and the informal networks where youth learn what is possible.

What Every Young Woman Should Know About the Military

What Every Young Woman Should Know About the Military

A Brochure for Young Women Thinking About Joining the Military | 2022

"When I joined, I knew that women in the military faced an uphill battle, but I didn't fully understand how serious the issues were and how reluctant leadership is to doing anything about it.

The truth is that there's a culture of harassment and assault that is incredibly harmful to all troops, but especially to gender minorities."
