ABOUT US

Since 2005, the US Peace Memorial Foundation has honored Americans who speak out against war and work for peace by publishing the US Peace Registry, awarding the annual US Peace Prize, and raising funds to build the US Peace Memorial in Washington, DC. It recognizes and documents the activities of hundreds of U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and organizations that have publicly championed peaceful solutions to international conflicts involving the U.S. and/or opposed U.S. war(s), militarism, and interventions including invasion, occupation, production and distribution of weapons of mass destruction, use of weapons, threats of war, or other hostile actions that endanger peace. We celebrate these role models to inspire other Americans to speak out against war and work for peace.

The Foundation's three projects were designed and implemented by Michael D. Knox, PhD, a psychologist. He applied behavioral principles: public recognition reinforces the behavior it honors, and acclaimed role models make that behavior more likely to be replicated. This is a deliberate strategy for shifting U.S. culture from one that celebrates only warriors to one that more highly values and emulates those who work to end war. The complete rationale is set out in the Introduction and Chapters 1–3 of ENDING U.S. WARS by Honoring Americans Who Work for Peace.
