The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

— Albert Einstein

Why?

There's a new "social technology" that works. It's the "Violence Integrative Prevention and Restoration ( PAR) Model." This approach is a dramatic departure from the traditional ways we describe and respond to violence. It's been demonstrated in schools, international settings, and at a Level 5 (maximum security) prison — where the violence stopped.

We need your help now because we have an opportunity to . . .

	*Take a huge bite out of the more than $2.2 trillion we spend on violence each year.** Reducing the cost of violence is especially important In this economy. *US Department of Defense, World Health Organization, US Office of Management and Budget
	*Dramatically reduce our 2.2 million prison population** — turning incarcerated Americans into contributing citizens. Of all of those imprisoned in the world, 1/4 of them are here in America. *PEW Foundation
	*Help end the tragedy of the nearly one million children who are the victims of child abuse each year.** Every child should be safe and free from violence. *US Department of Health and Human Services, US Department of Justice
	Contribute to the successful end of war and terrorism. War and terrorism have exacted a savage toll. In the War on Terrorism alone there have been an estimated 1,053,000 deaths since 2003.* Opinion Research Business poll, The Guardian*
	Help stop self-directed violence — acts of hopelessness and despair that result in injury or death. For example, veterans from the War on Terror commit suicide at rate that is twice that of other Americans.* *CBS News, University of Georgia
	Put a new effective, evidence-based "social technology" to work in the effort to reduce and end violence . The new "PAR Model" is unlike anything we've seen before. It was successfully demonstrated in a variety of venues, including a Level 5 (maximum security) prison.* *Washington State Department of Corrections, the Institute for Village Studies, Edvita Institute
	Your support helps us put this new "social technology" to work through the National Violence Reduction Initiative.
