Founded in early 2009, the Minnesota Peace Project’s (MPP) mission is to build a more peaceful world by influencing U.S. foreign policy through the exchange of perspectives and information with our members of Congress. With volunteer coordinators in each Congressional District, the MPP seeks to develop long-term relationships between constituent peace advocates and their Congressional representative and staff members.

The MPP Peace Agenda provides a broad platform of systemic changes to move from a reliance on military & economic domination to a strategy of partnership through diplomacy.

MPP’s Guiding Principles:
• Use dialog to build mutual understanding
• Build long-term relationships with Congress members & staffs
• Become a trusted source of valid information
• Differentiate information from opinion
• Strictly non-partisan
• Collaborate with other peace groups
