Quick Steps to Sew Peace

  1. Take our pledge at the bottom of this page

  2. Post the pledge image to your social media

  3. Contact at least two politicians or political action committees of different perspectives and ask them to reduce negative campaigning

recognize

  • politicians & PACs use negative ads because they’ve worked in the past – they’ve swayed parts of us

  • negativity begets negativity - let’s consider how attack ads are related to community violence

  • when viewing negative ads, notice who’s paid for it and research the organization

  • let’s be mindful of the parts of ourselves that want to join groupthink – that want to align ourselves with one group while othering another. from that mindfulness, let’s choose a higher path that benefits us all.

  • there’s power in numbers - peace expands as more of us recognize, act, and practice

act

  • contact political candidates and PACs - ask them to sew peace by reducing attack ads. organize letter writing groups/parties – the more individual contacts, the better.

    • sample: “Dear Leader/PAC, please consider the larger picture, prioritize peace, and reduce negative campaign ads. Your positivity affects us all."

    • see this video for more specific ideas

  • ask candidates in-person at events

  • identify those who would make good leaders and ask them to run for office

  • VOTE!

  • spread the word 

    • promote

    • friends, families, coworkers, communities

    • at events

practice

  • practice mindfulness to gain knowledge of yourself, expand Intuition, and reduce groupthink

  • visit @sewpeace or resources for helpful guided practices

  • share with your people, meditate solo & together

let’s work together to sew peace

As a community member, I pledge to ask political candidates and action committees to sew positivity. I pledge to notice parts of myself that may be swayed by negative messages.
