Rx for Resilience: Peace



The nation’s recent support for ceasefire efforts in Gaza and its reengagement in international discussions underscore a powerful truth: peace grows when countries choose connection over confrontation. The Nobel Prize for Peace this week went to Maria Corina Machado, a Venezuelan woman who has shown remarkable courage in the face of daunting odds. In Brazil and in countries around the world, citizens call for diplomacy, fairness and cooperation in addressing both local and global challenges.

Peace begins in conversation and grows through understanding. When we commit to dialogue — in our communities, institutions, and nations — we take part in shaping a more just and interconnected world. Each of us creates peace through forgiveness, listening, respect, courage, patience, vision, and shared responsibility. 

This week, our team was in Brazil for the Horasis Global Conference, where we met David Gershon, whose goal is global peace by 2030. He is the mastermind behind the Peace Games, which you can play and engage with in your neighborhood, community, or school. Often, the local and regional actions we take empower us to make a difference, the result of which has far-reaching ripple effects.

Peace on Earth by 2030
