What does being a peacemaker mean to you?

Being a peacemaker to me means growing in love. Loving the person in front of me. Using Jack as my model of radical acceptance of others while challenging the status quo. Rejection of all things trendy.

What impact do you hope the Jack Shockley Warriors for Peace will have in the community?

My hope for Jack Shockley Warriors for Peace is to bring love and light where there is hatred and darkness.
