The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation initiates and supports worldwide efforts to abolish nuclear weapons, to strengthen international law and institutions, and to inspire and empower a new generation of peace leaders. Founded in 1982, the Foundation is comprised of individuals and organizations worldwide who realize the imperative for peace in the Nuclear Age. The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation is a non-profit, non-partisan international education and advocacy organization. It has consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is recognized by the UN as a Peace Messenger Organization. Its vision is a world at peace, free of the threat of war and free of weapons of mass destruction.
The Foundation for Global Community believes our purpose is to discover, live, and communicate what is needed to build a world that functions for the benefit of all life. Our water planet Earth is cradled in a universe of beauty, mystery, and unfolding drama. Everything from the largest galaxies to the smallest particles, is part of one unified whole, interconnected system. Therefore, we affirm that all is one and that we are called upon to become conscious co-creators of the future in cooperation with the laws of the Universe. We envision a world in which love is the prevailing human function. Therefore, we will act with integrity, maintain a spirit of goodwill, and learn how to love in every situation.
The Technology and Culture Forum at MIT sponsors lectures and symposia that address critical issues of our time. The programs explore the role of science and technology in promoting positive social, ecological, and economic change. In addition, they stimulate discussion about the ethical implications of scientific discovery and technological innovation. For forty years, the Technology and Culture Forum has provided the only on-going, Institute-wide arena for such issues to be discussed.
Our common destiny rests on the willingness of people to set aside narrow self-interests and to cooperate with other cultures, races, nations, and religions for the well-being of all life.
