The Mt. Diablo Peace and Justice Center is crafting an opportunity to connect more deeply with the needs and values of the people in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill and Concord to build a culture of peace. The Center plans to focus on five major programs: Youth and the Military, Peace Through Art and Writing for middle and high school youth, implementing the Department of Peace, and public educational forums to be determined. We see that people are tiring of the cost of war and violence and that there is an opening for peace activities and conversations. We are able to use this opening to extend the olive branch of the Mt. Diablo Peace and Justice Center to a larger interest group. Our intention is to have more active members to spread the message that there is a local community who does not agree with war as away to solve differences or replace conversation and diplomacy. Many local actions can be sourced from a committed group of peace activists. The Mt. Diablo Peace and Justice Center can begin to seed the community with peaceful programs and actions.

Special Olympics Northern California Special Olympics Northern California is proud to serve more than 13, 000 individuals with intellectual disabilities. From the Oregon border to Monterey and Tulare counties, our athletes have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports trainings and competitions that take place throughout the year. In order to prepare athletes for competition, they must attend a minimum of eight practices to insure they are prepared to compete. Our Program Headquarters, located in Pleasant Hill oversees the staff in various regional offices in Northern California who are responsible for managing the local volunteer area programs. There are training and competition opportunities year-round within Special Olympics Northern California. Our programs are free to all eligible athletes and are possible thanks to the generous support from individuals and businesses who believe in Special Olympics athletes.
