On the : Honoring Rainn Wilson: Storyteller, Humanitarian, & Changemaker

"We are delighted to shine the spotlight this week on Rainn Wilson—a dynamic voice who uses his artistry, faith, and humanitarian commitment to awaken compassion in our world. With humor, heart, and unflinching honesty, Rainn calls us to live more deeply, connect more broadly, and love more courageously.

A Creative Life in Service
Rainn is best known for his role as Dwight Schrute on The Office, but his work extends far beyond acting. He is the co-founder of the media collective SoulPancake, which invites us to ask life’s big questions—and to explore how compassion and meaning emerge in the cracks of everyday life."

We share profound sadness for the lives continuing to be lost and the deep wounds that will not heal.

Those of us who will never see our loved ones again due to their being killed during the attacks of September 11th, 2001 in the United States, can well imagine the pain of those who are suffering the loss of their beloved family members in Gaza and Israel. Losing those we love to extreme violence is...

We welcome the release of "America's Trial: Torture and the 9/11 Case on Guantanamo Bay" by John Ryan. The book highlights the voices of some Peaceful Tomorrows members:
“I wonder how they’re going to handle the torture matter,” Peaceful Tomorrows (PT) member Terry Rockefeller said to her husband, Bill in May 2012. At the time, they were viewing the arraignment of the five men accused of planning and supporting the 9/11 terrorist attacks on closed-circuit TV that was provided for 9/11 victim family members at Ft. Devens in Massachusetts. Another family member there to watch the arraignment, who was not a member of PT overheard and asked, “Do you really think it will matter?”.....What Terry knew and articulated instinctively close to a decade ago, John laid out in systematic, painstaking detail, across more than 400 pages in his brilliant volume. “The inadmissibility of the confessions [due to torture],” he explained during the discussion, “is the issue.”

We will always support the annual Palo Alto multifaith picnic on 9/11 put together by the American Muslim Voice Foundation. we commend them for their continued work towards peace and community building and value the importance of decreasing divisiveness and war across the globe by bridging cultural and religious gaps.

"We are stronger together because of our connection to one
another, alliance, and unity. Let us hope that in our time we may see peace, friendship, and unity in our world."
