“Peace is not only a hope or a slogan. It is a living practice, a civic responsibility, and a future we can intentionally design, build, and sustain. As this final week begins, we are calling people everywhere to take one more step — and then another — toward healing, belonging, collaboration, and peace.”

The June 15 program will spotlight the growing field of peace infrastructure: the practical supports that help communities prevent violence, transform conflict, restore trust, and cultivate human flourishing. Presenters and featured initiatives include:

• The Campaign for a U.S. Department of Peacebuilding: a nationwide grassroots initiative at The Peace Alliance advocating in Congress for historic cabinet-level peacebuilding leadership.
• Peace Day Philly: a leading civic effort advancing community engagement and peace infrastructure throughout Philadelphia.
• The New Mexico Office of Peace: a significant governmental model dedicated to fostering peace, wellbeing, and collaborative problem solving.
• The River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding: an internationally respected organization transforming conflict and strengthening community resilience.
• The Ashland Culture of Peace Commission: a local/global initiative inspiring individuals, organizations, and communities to embody peace in action.
• Additional peace leaders, practitioners, and advocates: working to create systems, policies, and programs that support peaceful societies.

The Walkathon is designed to be simple, inclusive, and immediately actionable. People do not need to travel, purchase equipment, or attend in person. They can participate wherever they are by registering, walking or moving with intention, engaging with peace reflections and practices, and inviting others to join the final week of action.

“Every step for wellness is a step for peace,” organizers shared. “In a time when so many people feel polarization, violence, isolation, and uncertainty, Peace in Every Step offers a hopeful, concrete way to reconnect with one another and affirm that peace can be practiced in daily life.”

The final week concludes on Father’s Day, June 21, honoring the global family of humanity and the shared responsibility to leave future generations a more peaceful, compassionate, and connected world.
