Move-ment for Peace
Meta Peace “Move”-ment for Peace is a month-long opportunity to support the work of the Meta Peace Team (MPT), to focus on the power of creative non-violence, and to “Move” us all toward a more just and peaceful society.
Our participants raised $6,685, unlocking $6,000 in matching funds, and enabling us to surpass our fundraising goal of $10,000! Total amount raised was $12,685!! What an amazing group of people!
We logged 76+ hours of “Move”-ment over the month doing things like walking, playing bocce, playing piano, juggling, drawing, riding horses, rowing, going to the US Open, participating on MPT Peace Teams, and many, many more interesting and creative ways of moving. This event also opened everyone to reflecting on ways we can all move toward a more just and peaceful society.
A lot of brilliant photos were posted on the “Move”-ment for Peace Facebook page. We have posted a video compilation of the photos on MPT’s website at: https://www.metapeaceteam.org/move4peace. Please
The awards committee is very excited to announce the following winners:
Best Photo – Kim Redigan for her courage to go into the Straights of Mackinac and under the Mackinac Bridge in rough water, in an INFLATABLE kayak! The photo of her is tremendous!
Most Creative Movement – Marianne Bernard for her utterly stupendous drawing! It is absolutely beautiful!
Most Groovy Outfit – Zeharo (Z) and Shem for allowing their “parents” to dress them up and paint them all in the name of peace. Although, both Z and Shem have declined any MPT swag (they are afraid we will dress them up again!) they were good sports and truly support MPT.
Top Fundraiser – Peter Dougherty for his walk and juggle in the park, raising $1,780.85!
Biggest Team – Detroit Hub Club!! Way to go Detroit Hub! Great teamwork and participation!
Our winners will receive Meta Peace Team merchandise, a certificate and most importantly Bragging Rights!
We hope that you will join us in 2023 for our Second Annual “Move”-ment for Peace. It will begin August 21 and end on September 21 – the International Day of Peace!
Thank you to everyone for your participation and support. Together, we can “Move” toward a peaceful future!
