Colleen Mills
Colleen Mills is the president and founding member of the Citizens for Peace, a nonprofit, grassroots group whose “mission is to be responsive community leaders centered on learning, educating and facilitating the practices and principles of non-violence in our world. Citizens for Peace encourage the empowerment of an active citizenry and the passage of the Department of Peace legislation currently before the House of Representatives.”
The group came together for the first time at a conference to organize Michigan’s Campaign for a Department of Peace in the fall of 2003. Colleen had just retired after teaching in Detroit for 35 years, and the group suggested she take on the role of leader. For the last six and a half years, the Citizens for Peace has reached out to the public with the focus on creating a culture of peace.
The Citizens for Peace meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at Unity of Livonia. Colleen is proud of the informative, interactive, educational and inspirational meetings. The group has never missed a meeting because of the dedication to their peace work. This April, the meeting will be the second Peace Essay Awards Ceremony for the group. The Citizens for Peace sponsored a Peace Essay Contest for all Michigan High School and College students for the Season for Nonviolence. The six winners will read their essays and receive a cash award and a certificate.
Colleen Mills has published three issues of “The Michigan Department of Peace Political Action Guide”, a guide for citizen activism. She has presented workshops at the AAUW State Conference, the National Department of Peace Conference, and the Pax Christi Conference. She has spoken to high school students at their assembly ceremony of their Peace Pole dedication, and in high school classes. Her outreach has reached countless people as she represented the Citizens for Peace at numerous events around the state of Michigan.
The Citizens for Peace Educational Fund, spearheaded by Rosemary Doyle, has donated over 200 books on nonviolence to the Livonia Library. She and Ann Abdoo have developed a Peace Bibliography of over 560 titles. In addition, working with the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Association, we helped provide training to school personnel in Restorative Practices, a method of dealing with violence in a productive, not punitive manner. Because of our efforts, the Hamtramck School System, one of the most diverse in the country, had adopted Restorative Practices citywide.
The Citizens for Peace has partnered with many other peace groups in Michigan. The group is a member of the Detroit Area Peace with Justice Network and the Michigan Peace Network. Colleen Mills has been on the planning committee responsible for organizing Nagasaki Day events, concerts, fundraisers, and the ONE PEACE events for the last two years. ONE PEACE celebrates the International Day of Peace. (www.onepeace.us.)

Helpful post! Actually, I stumbled across this page by mistake. I was searching for tonsil tips and found your blog through the search engine. LOL… I don’t know how but then I started reading it. I’m going to add this blog post on my bookmarks website . Tonsil Stones can be taken care of like a doctor condition or even a medical ( dental ) matter as it is in the oral cavity.

Its a system that works. It has worked for me and still works to this day. There’s more choices for customers now as more and more products get released. Most of the companies out there are trying to sell immediately which lots of customers are use to this and run away. Set yourself apart from the rest give them customer a reason to learn to more about your product.
