LEPOCO Peace Center

LEPOCO is a non-profit citizens group in the Lehigh Valley area of eastern Pennsylvania with a shared vision that we can build a sane and more just world.

LEPOCO works to build a just society and a peaceful world through nonviolent action. Activities and programs occur as need dictates and the interest of our members allows. Current offerings, open to interested members of the public, include:

Newsletters and E-mails: LEPOCO's bi-monthly newsletter and regular e-mail updates keep our members informed of upcoming activities and report on our work a

nd issues of concern. Peace Camp: Young people (completed grades k-7), teens, and adults are invited to participate in this week of stories, games, music and crafts each July. Information Programs: LEPOCO presents expert speakers, study groups, nonviolence training, a monthly film series and informal "Potluck and Politics" sessions for our members and the community. Outreach: LEPOCO members welcome the opportunity to make presentations for schools, churches and community gatherings. Recent topics included Colombian Peace Communities, young people and militarism, and the growing economic divide. We staff information tables at local festivals and counter recruitment tables in high schools. Singers: The LEPOCO Peace Singers welcome new members as they prepare to perform for group functions and community programs. Working Groups: LEPOCO has had several active working groups -Youth and Militarism Committee, the Americas Solidarity Group, and the Lehigh Valley Committee Against State Killing. Currently, the most active group is the Stop the Wars Committee (formerly the Nuclear Abolition Sisters). LEPOCO takes an active role in the Lehigh Valley Peace Coalition working to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Public Actions: LEPOCO members engage in leafleting, vigils, demonstrations and civil disobedience to focus attention on crucial issues. We often organize buses and car pools to national demonstrations. Resource Center: The Peace Center has literature on issues important to LEPOCO, including information for young people with questions about draft registration and military recruitment. There is a specialized collection of books, dvds and videos available for loan. The Center also has a large collection of buttons, bumper stickers, cards and booklets for sale. During the winter holiday season we sell international fair trade crafts. Networking: While LEPOCO is a locally autonomous organization, we do cooperate with regional and national groups including the Fellowship of Reconciliation, National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance, Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, United for Peace and Justice, and the War Resisters League, and local organizations such as the Alliance for Sustainable Communities - Lehigh Valley, and Brandywine Peace Community.
