Four things Congress can pass now to prevent violence and war
Youth Violence Prevention:
✓ Enact the Youth PROMISE Act (HR 2721), groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation that will give our communities the support and funding they need to effectively address youth violence issues by setting up local infrastructure to support effective on-the-ground work, ensuring we are saving lives and giving every young person the opportunity to meet his or her potential.

Support Budget Funding for International Peacebuilding
State Dept. & Foreign Operations Learn more...
✓ U.S. Institute of Peace: $39 million USIP works to save lives, increase the government's ability to deal with conflicts before they escalate, reduce government costs, and enhance our national security.
✓ Conflict Stabilization Operations: $56 Million This account funds the Civilian Response Corps and the new Conflict Stabilization Operations bureau, focusing on preventing deadly conflict in countries struggling with or at risk from conflict or civil strife.
✓ Complex Crises Fund: $50 million This account provides much-needed, unprogrammed money for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to prevent and respond to emerging or unforeseen crises.
