Creates a new federal department to reduce violence and promote peace at home and abroad.
This bill would create a new Department of Peacebuilding within the federal government. This department would work to reduce violence and promote peaceful solutions both in the U.S. and around the world. It would affect everyone by focusing on issues from domestic violence to international conflicts and arms control.
Currently, there is no dedicated Department of Peacebuilding within the federal government, and peacebuilding efforts are not a main national policy goal. This bill would create a new Department of Peacebuilding to actively develop and carry out programs for reducing violence and resolving conflicts peacefully, both domestically and internationally. At least 85 percent of its funds would go to domestic peace programs.
