Common Ground continues to Stand in Peace every Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 5 pm. An enthusiastic group of dedicated people gather on the corner of Irvine Boulevard and Prospect Avenue, rain or shine. Signs have been changed to say, "Imagine Peace". Recently new signs have been added inviting passersby to join in.

This project is a reflection of The Alliance for a New Humanity at Common Ground. Focus on an end to violence in all forms, inner and outer, fosters a more sustainable planet. Members of the group are expanding their efforts by reaching out to local faith-based groups, youth organizations and existing peace programs.

Everyone is invited to give an hour of time to Imagine Peace.

Standing In Peace

Common Ground is taking action to 'Stand In Peace' every Tuesday, on a weekly basis, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm at the corner of Irvine Boulevard and Prospect Avenue in Tustin.

This effort is a shift to a slightly different model than what is generally seen in these kinds of activities today. There is no intention to stand 'in favor of' or 'against' anyone or anything. The intention is to express respect for all of life. The idea of standing in peace was chosen rather than the idea of standing for peace because the intention is 'to be the vibration of peace' - first taking individual responsibility for peace within, and then demonstrating that quality of peace as a way of being in the world on a daily basis.

This effort is designed to appeal to anyone who can hold in awareness the vision of standing in peace in any area of life - personal, relationships, home, family, school, community, country, nation, the planet & environment, the universe. The idea is to stand together on common ground without concern for color of clothing, gender, race, ethnicity, age, belief system, religion, political affiliation, agenda, etc.

Many are familiar with the lyrics of a popular spiritual song, "let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." Common Ground now takes this affirmation into action by intentionally setting aside a time and space to stand together as spiritual community.

Come be the change you want to see in the world. Anyone who wants to stand in peace is invited to join the effort ~ teens, children, parents, grandparents, policemen, business people, retirees, other-abled, disenfranchised, politicians, doctors ~ Everyone is welcome!
