Dear Supporters,

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s timeless wisdom, we at East Point Peace Academy are driven by the belief that nonviolence holds the key to breaking the cycle of revenge and fostering lasting peace through reconciliation. Since our inception in 2013, we have been dedicated to spreading the transformative teachings of Kingian Nonviolence Conflict Reconciliation.

Our commitment to change knows no bounds, and we are proud to introduce our latest workshop series, "Trans-Communality: Selling Social Change Without Sell Out." Through workshops both within correctional facilities and in our communities, we have been actively diverting adults from re-entering the criminal justice system, forging a path toward brighter futures for individuals, families, and neighborhoods impacted by mass incarceration.

Now, as we embark on an ambitious five-year plan, we need your support more than ever. With your generous donations and grants, we aim to expand our reach and deepen our impact. Together, we can turn the tide against poverty, violence, and incarceration in under-resourced communities, bringing about tangible and lasting change.

Join us in our mission to create a world where compassion triumphs over conflict, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Your support today will help shape a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.

With heartfelt gratitude,

East Point Peace Academy
