Dallas Peace Center is a 501c3 founded in 1981

Throughout its 30-year history, the Dallas Peace Center has kept a finger on the pulse of activists’ concerns, and has stood ready to lead or assist in research, education, dialogue and action for peace and justice.

The Dallas Peace Center was founded in 1981 by Peace Mennonite Church as an avenue for their religious community to act prophetically for peace and justice in the world. It soon became an ecumenical community that welcomed secular activists.

As a volunteer driven organization, the direction of DPC’s efforts depends on the interests and energy of its constituents. At present, some of DPC’s active teams and committees include the Middle East Peace Committee, Death Penalty Abolition, Compassionate Care, Cuba Friendship, Committee for a Nuclear Free World, and Peace and Justice in Latin America.

If you have the passion and energy to make a difference for justice and peace in the world, the Dallas Peace Center can assist you.
