Jesse Jackson Gave Peace a Chance The iconic civil rights leader, who has died at 84, made anti-war and pro-diplomacy politics central to his presidential bids and his lifelong activism.

“Leadership must face the moral challenge of our day. The nuclear war build-up is irrational…Let's give peace a chance.” -Reverend Jesse Jackson

We honor Rev. Jackson, a civil rights legend who believed in disarmament and peace.

Monks walking for peace draw massive crowd in Richmond. Final stop: D.C. Nineteen Buddhist monks drew massive crowds through downtown Richmond on Monday as Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) welcomed their message of peace. Next stop: Washington, D.C.

So many of us are thirsting for peace and non-violence.

Let's demand it for ourselves, our communities, and our world.

We're inspired by these folks taking to the streets and calling for the peace we all deserve.
