The Peace Parasol Project has involved hundreds of youth and adults in painting somber black umbrellas into popular symbols of hope for peace and justice. The project has been growing with activities at large public events in Washington D.C., New York City and numerous venues around N.C.'s Research Triangle.

Another project is the Twin Towers of Democracy / City on a Hill mobile public sculpture project. This project is involving the public in creating their own historical monuments with cardboard boxes to educate ourselves about the history of the struggle for peace and civil liberties, and provoke a more vital public dialogue about what needs to be changed about America to “Fulfill the Promise” as well as what is worth “Preserving and Protecting.“
