If you're into creating peace in our world, participating in the kind of civic actions that bring about harmony among people, there's a great new place for you to socialize with other like-minded activists online -- DoPeace.ning.com. It's basically a MySpace for Peaceniks.

The DoPeace site is a community of, by and for volunteers with The Peace Alliance, the Student Peace Alliance and the Campaign for a U.S. Department of Peace. On this site, folks come together to celebrate, support and foster effective and FUN citizen-based peace activism.

On the site you can create a MyPeace page, join a group for your State and Congressional district, make friends with fellow peace activists, sign up for an event, upload event photos or videos, start or participate in a discussion, or write your own blog. The number of ways to get involved in the peace community via DoPeace are staggering and inspiring. The DoPeace Overview video will help you get started. Or you can check out the Community Norms, Tips and FAQ.

Part of struggling for peace is feeling a bit isolated as the world rages around you. DoPeace is where you can cure that isolation and get you closer to those who share your passion for compassion.
