Phoenix Peace Builders

Our mission is to help the beloved community heal from generations of trauma by creating positive change from within. We promote the principles of Kingian Nonviolence and conflict resolution. In this community, there is racial equity, economic justice, and reconciliation. We achieve these outcomes by using the art and the sciences of indigeneity and Kingian nonviolence and conflict reconciliation.

At times, outward demonstrations such as protests or other forms of civil action are necessary while always leaving a path open to reconciliation. In any case, our organization aims to help the beloved community cultivate the skills to heal from trauma by first identifying and addressing its causes in a healthy way.

Course Description

This course is entirely within the bounds of Kiwanis Park. It will not cross any roads and participants will be expected to stay on the sidewalk, canal path, or grass at all times. The starting line will be by the playground and everyone will circle the playing fields first. This section is dirt and grass. Next, runners and walkers will go up to the canal path and run towards Guadalupe Road, where there will be a turn-around. After coming back to the canal path entrance point, they will finish by circling the lake.

Event's current local time: 7:16 AM MT
