Greetings. My name is Arthur Stevens. I am not a politician. I have no agenda other than to help create a peaceful world; a world where we will live with dignity, with equality and equal justice for all, in harmony with all living things and the environment. I had long suffered the plight of the homeless and the hungry, the abused and exploited, witnessing our inhumane treatment of one another, that in 1993, the Harmony Coalition was born. Our organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and was formed with the objective of helping the homeless and working poor. Since 1994 we have dedicated our efforts towards achieving racial and cultural harmony through our non-violence programs. We are now creating a movement with the sole purpose of reaching out to people who feel each person must do their part to promote peace and harmony in the world. There will be two cornerstones for this movement. The first will appeal to the young people. They will be our "Guides" both spiritually and physically, role models of life styles and values to which others would want to aspire, in order to achieve our goal and vision of a peaceful society. It has always been true that young people have reflected the behavior and morals of the adult society in which they live. It is our goal to shift that balance and make the young people our models, emissaries of peace and harmony, bringing the message to their peers and the community. The second cornerstone will be non-sectarian International Centers for Peace and Harmony, housing the Harmony Coalition "Proclamation for a Peaceful Community" as well as peace declarations from around the world. They will provide a climate of reflection, reconciliation, peace and harmony.
