Syracuse Center for Peace and Social Justice

This facility not only increases the effectiveness of each organization housed there, but also allows for much greater synergies and collaboration.
• The creation of a peace and social justice center in a central, visible location has marked a major advancement in the growth and development of progressive forces in our community.

• A substantial building with professional facilities lends a sense of legitimacy to our critical social action work.

• Daily face-to-face contact among key community activists increases networking and allows our community to plan proactively and respond more effectively to future crises.

• Creative projects emerge from discussions around the coffee table, over lunch and during meetings.

• The Center builds on work already begun by the Greater Syracuse Progressive Coalition and the annual Hiroshima Day commemoration.

• Continual renovation of the Center as a “Green” building provides a visible example to the community of steps we can take to preserve the natural world.
