An Open Letter: Moving Forward Together

November 8, 2024

Dear Friends,

As our country emerges from a devisive pivotal election, we at Connecting Cultures for Peace reaffirm our commitment to unity, inclusivity, and peace. This is a time for reflection, for coming together, and for renewing our collective strength. Our purpose remains unchanged: to encourage understanding, bridge divides, and promote peace across all communities. As a non-partisan organization, we are committed to collaborating with people from all political and religious backgrounds who share these values.

The work ahead is vital: creating spaces where individuals of all beliefs, backgrounds, and perspectives can gather to foster positive change. Embracing diversity and engaging in meaningful dialogue are essential as we seek solutions that honor our shared humanity. The journey toward peace and understanding can be challenging, and differences are a natural part of it. Yet we hold firm in our belief that respectful conversation and compassionate listening are powerful tools for building trust and unity.

As we move forward, we encourage everyone to focus not on our differences but on the shared hopes and dreams that bind us. We invite each of you to be ambassadors of peace in your own communities: to listen with openness, speak with kindness, and act with compassion. Together, let’s contribute to a movement that uplifts, connects, and strengthens our society.

Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to our shared mission. We are honored to walk this path with each of you, inspired by the belief that genuine progress begins with empathy, understanding, and a united commitment to peace.

Best regards,

Michele Norris

President
