In
August of 2003, NJ Peace Action called for a re-activation of the Peace
Site Network. The plan was for the Network to again become a creative
presence for promoting and expanding peace work -- specifically focused
on preventing nuclear war and preserving the planet for future
generations. This mission was stimulated by the current proposal to
deploy missile defense systems, which threaten to unravel a generation
of bilateral and multilateral peace-keeping treaties, and plans to
introduce nuclearization and militarization of space.
This decade's version of the Peace Site Network added a potentially
far-reaching component - dedicating websites as Peace Sites. Essex
Ethical Cultural Society was among the first and others are following.
