Current Peace and Justice Projects
Peace and Justice committee has been very involved in a number of projects for decades. Unfortunately, in the past two years we've not been able to support these projects because of the Covid pandemic. As we begin to meet in-person and plan to serve our community, we are evaluating which projects to support. We are seeking to serve our community with projects that members and friends of GAPC will engage us to participate, pique our interest, be supported by our serving, financially supported with our donations, and be meaningfully to our Mission and Vision.
