PeaceAware is a loosely coupled collection of peace groups in Southern New Mexico. We organize Teach-Ins, Interfaith Symposiums, and Vigils for Peace. We operate a listserve (peace@nmu.edu), a website (PeaceAware.com), and a discussion board (groups.yahoo.com/group/PeaceAware).

Our mission is to serve the PeaceAware community of New Mexico by providing spaces for dialog where voices for peace can be heard and our community creates peaceful options.  Our vision is to create a world where peace reins and people are aware of options to war. We engage in activism, not protest. Activism seeks to bring change through action steps.  Protest is yelling; activism is listening and dialog. Our common value is commitment to peace and non-violence. These are our values:

  is "Respecting all Life."

is acting with AWARENESS.

is BEING AWARE of PEACE.

is Voices Speaking-Out for PEACE.

is being able to Visualize a Peaceful World.

is non-Violence (Ahimsa) and Reverence for all life.

is BEING AWARE of the consequences of the War Machine.

is the way we approach our lives, our food, other beings, and our environment.
