Who We Are: The Visions to Peace Project is a youth leadership development and movement-building project located in Washington, D.C.
Mission: The Visions to Peace Project supports youth, communities and organizations in building safety and peace through creative community action, rather than dependence on policing, prisons, and punitive policies. We are committed to building a broad vision and movement for safety, justice and freedom – the building blocks of peace – through the use of arts, media, education, and organizing.
Vision: We envision communities that have the commitment and ability to keep everyone safe without relying on violent acts and institutions. We envision movements for personal and social transformation that address all forms of violence.
What We Do: The Visions to Peace Project uses arts, media, and education to build and strengthen youth-led community action and organizing for safety and peace. We support:
youth in developing as leaders,
communities in sharing their experiences, knowledge and skills, and
organizations in building their capacity to address and challenge all forms of violence.

“Without new visions, we don’t know what to build,
only what to knock down.
We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical,
but we forget that making a revolution
is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics,
but a process that can and must transform us.”
– Robin Kelley, Historian and activist
