The Ojai Peace Coalition is SO proud to have borne our 2008 Noble Peace Prize honorees, Tara Blasco and Lyn Hebenstreit, as dignitaries in last Saturday’s Independence Day parade (along with former Marine Sergeant Lyn Weeks, representing Veterans for Peace)! In addition to working to increase public health and decrease poverty in Africa, Lyn and Tara engage in spiritual activism right here in our valley community by leading meditation groups, as well as providing support for mothers and infants. Learn about their work in Africa by visiting the Global Resource Alliance website.

I’m thinking of church leaders and a wide range of spiritual leaders in Ojai that work for peace… I’m thinking outside the box, of people like Peace Pilgrim who visited Ojai when I was in high school…or someone in the field of education who teaches young people about peace… or a Veteran for Peace…
I nominate evan and Jesse Austin!
