Partners For Peace
We at LMPC agree that “There can be no justice without peace and there can be no peace without justice” (Martin Luther King, Jr., December 14, 1967). Thus, we support the work of peacemakers not only here at home, but also around the world. Some of the organizations whose work we endorse and support are listed below. We invite you to visit their websites and determine how you might be able to support their work as well.
