Purple for Peace is a grassroots movement grounded in a simple belief: nonviolence is a powerful, intentional choice shaped by conscience and compassion.

Purple represents the meeting of red and blue — people embracing dialogue, understanding, and a shared sense of humanity. In a moment when connection is needed most, we uplift restraint, courage, and kindness as pathways to a stronger society.

Purple for Peace exists to celebrate the truth that democracy thrives when people live their values with clarity and heart.

We stand at a defining moment. Our nation must choose: will democracy be defended with violence, or with the far greater power of nonviolence?

Violence is a trap. It hands those in power an excuse to silence dissent and deepen our divisions. Nonviolence, though demanding strength and discipline, is the force tyrants fear most. It is the only path to freedom.

That is why I created Purple for Peace: to bring together the “Reds” and the “Blues” in common purpose. Division feeds the current system; unity dismantles it.

Now we take the next step: Purple Peace Pods. These small, independent circles are safe places to organize, to grow, and to spread. Each Pod plants the seeds for more Pods. Each purple armband carries the vision forward. This is a movement without borders, without fear—unstoppable in its compassion.

Like wildflowers breaking through concrete, these Pods will rise across America and beyond, nurturing a new consciousness rooted in love, unity, and peace.

The question is before us: Will you take your place in this movement? Will you help us give rise to a more loving world?
