Mission

The Chico Peace and Justice Center is a community-based non-profit 501(c)3 organization committed to working for peace, social and economic justice through the power of nonviolence. Our mission is: "Building justice through peace and peace through justice."

The center works for social change through education, community building, and direct action and is dedicated to bringing an end to violent conflict among nations and individuals. CPJC is an offshoot of the Chico Peace Endeavor, which has been working for nonviolent change since 1960.

Call for Writers

The Chico Viewspaper, a quarterly publication of the Chico Peace and Justice Center, seeks articles for its summer issue. Syncing up with July 4th, this issue's theme will be "The True Meaning of Patriotism". What's the place (is there a place?) for patriotism in the U.S. today? What are authentic expressions of patriotism in a violence-ridden society? Where is the line between patriotism and nationalism? Is it possible to forge a sense of global patriotism?

The Wheel of Integral Nonviolence

CPJC has adopted The Wheel of Integral Nonviolence as a description of our guiding principles and commitments. This holistic model provides a map for our journey as an organization, helping us to discern where our energy and resources can be put to best use, which causes and approaches we ought to commit ourselves, and which groups and projects we will team with along the way.
