Abe Keller Peace Education Fund

Abe Keller Peace Education Fund Working towards peace through education and community awareness. It intends to contribute to activities that are promising but not yet self-sustaining.

The potential scope of peace education is enormous, and focus is needed to foster progress in such a large field. The initial scope of the Abe Keller Peace Education Fund is in two areas that were both close to Abe's heart: Conflict resolution in our communities, and fostering peace leadership by the United States in international affairs. It is recognized that peace issues and issues of economic,

racial, and environmental justice are intimately linked, and the focus of the Fund may shift over time to embrace these other issues as needs and opportunities arise. The fund does not intend to conduct peace education activities itself, but prefers to support the ongoing work of other organizations.

The Nuclear Triad is "modernizing". New nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed Columbia-Class submarines are planned for the Pacific Northwest. This will be the largest submarine that the Navy has ever built at a cost of over $126 billion heading to Puget Sound.

‏In honor of lives recently lost on the streets of Iranian cities SISCA presents: VIGIL & ART EXHIBITION IN SOLIDARITY

Sunday, March 1, 2026
4:00–8:00 pm, Seattle City Hall

Being physically distant from loved ones in Iran while continuing our daily lives here has created a profound emotional strain within our community. Many are carrying deep grief quietly, navigating the expectations of everyday life without sufficient space to pause, reflect, or mourn together. Too often, moments of remembrance are fleeting; the depth of the grief overwhelming, leaving little room for collective acknowledgment, healing, or shared solace.

To offer a space for reflection, remembrance, and support, Seattle–Isfahan Sister City Advocacy (SISCA) will open the doors of Seattle City Hall to all who wish to gather in community. This vigil is intended as a sanctuary—a place to honor the many lives tragically lost, to bear witness together, and to grieve in a spirit of compassion and solidarity, alongside friends and allies.

The evening will also include a Solidarity Art Exhibition, featuring powerful works by Iranian artists whose images have resonated widely across the community, including Kiarash Khalili , Saba Soleymani , Sheida Babagoli .babagoli, Marjane Saidi .saidi.art, Farshad Alamdari .me and others. These works serve as visual testimonies—expressions of grief, resilience, and hope—offering another language through which we can remember and stand together.

We invite you to join us at Seattle City Hall on Sunday, March 1, 2026, from 4:00–8:00 pm, for a Vigil and art exhibition in Solidarity. All are welcome to come quietly, to remember, to support one another, and to find strength in shared presence. Together, we will honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice as we hold space for hope and healing.

This event is FREE and open to all.
🖤🤍🕊️
