We are excited about the new Pope bettering lives of people around the world. "He resembles Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants and to meeting people where they are. 'The bishop is not supposed to be a little prince sitting in his kingdom.'” #peace #PopeLeoXVI #VivaLaPapa

Throngs of young people and families gather by the Ho Chi Minh statue, the beloved revolutionary who dared to imagine rebuilding his homeland "ten times more beautiful." We must imagine and fight for our own new world. #peace #activism #ReunificationDayVietnam

Pope Francis's remarkable peacemaking life As Francis demonstrated, there's no better way to live life than to practice, teach and promote nonviolence.

"There's no better way to live life than to practice, teach and promote nonviolence" an article from our friends @wagingnv.bsky.social #PeaceNotWar #PeaceNotViolence #peacemaking

From a peace research perspective, seen as we gather for the 50th: a long history of naming some as the "enemy" with no rights: disposable, expendable, worth-less, and deserving of death; and that violence and militarism are fine ways of resolving conflicts #PeaceNotWar #ReunificationDayVietnam

DOGE fired me as it tries to destroy Institute of Peace, but our mission will live | Opinion Elon Musk and rogue DOGE bureaucrats may try to terminate U.S. Institute of Peace and my nonfederal job, but they can't take the peacemaker out of me.

"DOGE locked us out of our offices and then fired nearly all 300 staff." From @mattmipra.bsky.social in Vietnam: "Andrew Wells-Dang, Institute of Peace (USIP), was supposed to be here, and then he lost his job. His Op Ed just published in USA Today." #PeaceNotWar #ReunificationDayVietnamU.S.

Honor to meet the inspiring team of Project RENEW at the Mine Action Visitor Center. Decades of cleaning up land mines and other dangerous ordinances that "our" US government viciously littered their country with. "We must look forward." #peace #reconciliation #reunification #vietnam #PeaceNotWar

Francis, the First Latin American Pope, Dies at 88 After decades of conservative leadership, Francis tried to reset the course of the Roman Catholic Church, emphasizing inclusion and care for the marginalized over doctrinal purity.

We mourn the loss an inclusive leader. "Francis reached out to migrants, the poor, and he sought to improve relations with Chinese government, Muslim clerics, and war-torn parts of Africa, where he excoriated modern-day colonizers and sought peace in South Sudan." #inclusion #peace #decolonization

Our participation in Reunification Day, 30 April 1975, marking the end of the Vietnam War, begins with iconic places, powerful talks, and gifting archives. Students at Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, Banner: "President Ho Chi Minh is a great man who lives forever in our cause" with @mattmipra.bsky.social

Dove display at Tewkesbury Abbey showcases 'peace and love' The abbey's Reverend Canon Nick Davies said it is a "striking" art piece.

Thousands of paper doves are hanging in an abbey with messages of "love and peace" on them written by the local community.

About 9,000 paper birds are hanging from the ceiling at Tewkesbury Abbey, in Gloucestershire, England, accompanied by sound and light show.
