PEERS: Supporting Transformation
Public Education and Empowerment Resource Service (PEERS) is now poised to take our inspiring work to a new level. Deeply committed to supporting transformation in our world through inspiration and education, PEERS incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in January 2006. We declared a clear vision of building a brighter future through inspiring a sense of global community based on love and cooperation, and through educating the public to little-known forces underlying the political and economic structures that shape our world. The greatest part of our work involves both the ongoing development of several popular websites dedicated to these goals, and the creation of a several exciting new websites. Another website, Global Community for All, provides inspiring ideas and information for community building based on the principle that we all benefit when we celebrate and learn from our diversity, and when we join in choosing what's best for all people as we invite ever-greater love, healing, and empowerment into all of our lives. The most visited PEERS website, www.WantToKnow.info, specializes in revealing critical information about important cover-ups of which few are aware. Using reliable, verifiable sources such as key news articles from the major media and revealing government documents, this highly educational website exposes hidden forces and agendas which too often lead to increased conflict, war, and injustice in our world. A major new project about which we are excited is the development of a website for what we are calling the Transformation Team, at www.transformationteam.net. We would like to focus a significant portion of our efforts in the coming year on this important community-building website. We envision this website becoming a key portal of "conscious community in action," where deeply committed participants from around the world come together and use a variety of empowering networking tools available on the website to help further transform our planet to a new way of living based on love and empowerment. PEERS provides all information compiled on our websites and email lists free of charge and without advertising. We start with the understanding that every one of us makes a difference in our world. By reminding people of this, and inspiring them to take action both in their personal lives and in the greater society, PEERS is making a big difference in building a more just, cooperative world. The large number of supportive and grateful emails we receive demonstrate that our efforts are greatly appreciated by an ever-growing number of the people. Until this February, though a number of key volunteers provided invaluable support, I was the only person working full-time at PEERS. Because of my deep belief that one person can make a big difference, I decided in early 2004 to greatly reduce my paid professional work, to forget about the need for a retirement nest-egg, and to dedicate all of my savings to bring the vision of PEERS and the websites I founded into reality. I worked entirely as a volunteer as the driving force to develop the websites to their current form. Then this March, even though PEERS had only received about $10,000 in donations in our first year (2006) — far from enough to pay anyone's salary — the all-volunteer leadership of PEERS decided to take a risk and hire our first paid employee. Through our transformation network, we found a wonderful, capable man named Tod Fletcher. I committed to use my own dwindling savings to pay Tod's salary if sufficient donations do not come in. Shortly after this decision, three wonderful supporters contributed a total of over $10,000, which will cover four months of Tod's salary. Yet in order to pay Tod's continuing salary and eventually hire a few more support staff, we will be depending on dedicated people like you to support us. Empowering global transformation is the great challenge of our time as we move forward into this new millennium. We are excited to join with you in meeting this challenge by spreading ever more love and inspiration both in our personal lives and in our world. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate with us in any way, please contact us at www.peerservice.org/contactuspeers.php. Thank you for your efforts towards creating a more loving, supportive world for ourselves, our children, and for future generations. With heartfelt love and best wishes, Special Note: For any who are interested in an engaging talk I gave on both transformation and cover-ups available on Google video, please see http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1001763355825005775
