RATS 4 PEACE

ABOUT PEACE RAT PROJECT: peacerats.blogspot.com

"Peace Rat Project" - Peace Rats is about advocating for world peace. Local New York City artist Alexander Aristotle (age 9) has created a campaign to build awareness about the individuals & organizations throughout the world that advocate for peace and non-violence. His artistic tool for building awareness is "REX – THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE RAT" from New York City with a mission to advocate for world peace. Watch for "Rex the Peace Rat" videos on YouTube since he will be hitting the Streets to ask people what they think about Peace.

The project's goal is to get people to think about how they can support peace through individual acts of their own, including supporting others that advocate for peace and non-violence, to help us all “Live a life that rejects violence and prevents conflict”.

Our PEACE RAT PROJECT will promote a greater understanding of Non-violence and Conflict Transformation at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and societal levels. We seek to inspire hope by showing a way out of the pattern of war, injustice, and the culture of violence.

Our goal is to promote a greater understanding of nonviolence and conflict transformation at various levels: intrapersonal (within ourselves), interpersonal (in our relationships), and cultural (in our system of meaning and the way we view the world).

We hope to inspire and promote a better understanding between people, especially kids, to incorporate peaceful principles in their daily lives, to contribute to the creation of a nonviolent future.
