The US Peace Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Michael Knox in 2005 to honor Americans who work to promote peace. It awards the annual US Peace Prize.
History
War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same respect and privilege as the warrior does today. - John F. Kennedy
Its current chair, Michael Knox, established the US Peace Memorial Foundation in 2005. The foundation aims to promote a culture of peace, rather than one of war, by uplifting those who seek out alternatives to violence.[1][2]
US Peace Memorial
There are countless monuments to war in the United States, but peace activists are not celebrated by society in the same way.[3] The foundation is raising funds to build the US Peace Memorial in Washington, DC, as a monument to peace and progress.[4]
US Peace Registry
The foundation maintains the US Peace Registry, which honors individuals and organizations who publicly speak out against warfare and militarization.[5]
US Peace Prize
The foundation awards the annual US Peace Prize.
