Abstract:

The Alliance for Peacebuilding and Search for Common Ground co-lead a growing NGO coalition in support of H.R. 6174, the Youth, Peace, and Security Act of 2020, introduced by Representatives Grace Meng (D-NY), Susan Brooks (R-IN), Dean Phillips (D-MN) and John Curtis (R-UT) in March 2020. This bipartisan legislation aims to be catalytic in advancing the global youth, peace, and security movement, creating an unprecedented global investment stream to support youth leadership, and giving young people the political platform and support they need to advance peace in their communities.
