We came across the non- profit organization Peaceworks in Columbia, Mo., last week. It's a grassroots educational organization that's vision is: ... "an ecologically sound, sustainable world, and a violence free community, in which human equality and justice flourish."

Columbia's Peaceworks spokes-person Mark Haim said the local membership is about 500 families,

and the organization is continually working for social change through public education, advocacy and fellowship.

The night we arrived in Columbia we attended a Peaceworks sponsored talk on Third World sweatshops at the University of Missouri campus.
