A catalyst for peacebuilding

in Brooklyn and beyond

Peacebuilding

Peacebuilding is the development of constructive personal, social-cultural, and political relationships across ethnic, racial and religious identities, class and national boundaries, gender expressions and sexual orientations. It aims to resolve injustice in nonviolent and antiviolent ways and to transform the structural conditions that generate harmful conflict.

Land Acknowledgement

Brooklyn Peace Center recognizes that we are located in Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Lenape people. Specifically, we are on Canarsie (Canarsee) Land, a Brooklyn tribe of the Lenape People. We acknowledge the Lenape community, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. Our ongoing work is to dismantle the legacies of settler colonialism and white supremacy.

Who We Are

Brooklyn Peace Center is an asset-based community organization (501c3) that serves as a catalyst for peacebuilding and conflict transformation in Brooklyn and beyond. Through peacebuilding activities, arts and culture events, webinars and in-person workshops and seminars, the Brooklyn Peace Center engages and equips community residents, activists and artists, clergy and clinicians, and all who have an interest in peacebuilding.
