The Peace People Promoting an ancient vision for a nonviolent future Nonviolence is at the centre of the Peace People's approach to building a just and peaceful society. As the quote below suggests, we mean much more by this than simply the absence of physical violence. We draw our inspiration from historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. While the history of Ireland often seems to have been dominated by violent conflict, there have also been many examples of nonviolent campaigns. These include: Daniel O'Connell and the campaign for Catholic Emancipation (1823-28) The Quakers Michael Davitt and the Land League (1873-79) Francis Sheehy Skeffington (early twentieth century).

"Nonviolence is a respect for life and for the individual. That is to say, nonviolence is not a method of non-aggression (as it is often considered), but rather a way of life, and a way of understanding the relationship of human beings to their fellow beings and with nature" Adolfo Perez Esquivel

30. Mairead Corrigan Maguire In October 1977 Betty and mairead were told they had received the 1976 prize, This biographical essay about Máiread corrigan Maguire was excerpted from http://www.peacepeople.com/MaireadByJohnDear.htm

The Peace People Promoting an ancient vision for a nonviolent future Máiread Corrigan Maguire by John Dear, S.J. "If we want to reap the harvest of peace and justice in the future, we will have to sow seeds of nonviolence, here and now, in the present." Belfast, 1976! The height of "The Troubles." From 1969 to 1998, over thirty-four hundred people were killed in a brutal war stemming from British colonial interests, revolutionary republicanism, and age-old, oppressive religious bigotry and fanaticism. But after a year of tumultuous political negotiations, a breakthrough settlement was reached on Good Friday 1998, bringing Northern Ireland to the Easter dawn of peace. Suddenly, what was once deemed unimaginable, unthinkable, indeed impossible, is now indeed possible and probable. A new future stands on the horizon of Ireland -a vision of peace. As that 1976 photograph testifies, thousands of ordinary people throughout Northern Ireland, mainly women, have been calling for an end to the killings and a future of peace since the Troubles began. The 1976 "Peace People" movement organized the largest nonviolent demonstrations in the history of Northern Ireland -at the time of the greatest number of killings. At the heart of this courageous peace movement stood a young woman named Máiread Corrigan Maguire. Máiread was thrust into a leadership position in the wake of tragedy. On August 10, 1976, two of her nephews and one of her nieces, all little children, were killed on a Belfast street comer. A British army patrol shot and killed an IRA gunman, Danny Lennon, whose car then plowed into the sidewalk, killing the children, and severely injuring Mairead's sister Anne, who died several years later. In a land soaked with blood, their deaths came as a severe shock. Suddenly, thousands of people began to say, "Enough is enough. The killing and violence have to stop." With Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown, Máiread organized weekly peace marches and demonstrations that instantly brought out over half a million people throughout Northern Ireland, as well as in England and Ireland. They also co-founded the Community of the Peace People to continue their peacemaking initiatives.

31. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Mairead Corrigan Quotes, links and short biography of mairead corrigan Maguire from Ireland whowas awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976 for efforts to end the violence in http://www.peaceheroes.com/PeaceHeroes/maireadcorrigan.htm

Mairead Corrigan Maguire "Everyday there are people in our world that do absolutely amazing things. People of all ages are very capable of doing tremendous, courageous things in spite of their fear." A description of Mairead Corrigan Maguire written by Joan Baez: "The breath of God ran through her like a fair summer breeze. She was a smile. She was a prayer. She was endlessly brave, going into the streets and homes of the "the enemy" unarmed and with cheerful countenance. No evil could envelop her or even touch her. I'm sure she is all those things still. She will hate to read this, because she is also self-effacing, like some other saints. God bless you, Mairead Corrigan. And God bless the brave women of Ireland who, for a brief but exceptional moment in time, waged mass nonviolent warfare in one of the most violent countries in the world." (excerpted from Baez' autobiography, And A Voice To Sing With) In 1976, Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams and a journalist called Ciaran McKeown organized a series of peace marches in Northern Ireland after three children of Corrigan's sister Anne were killed by a gunman's getaway car. Tens of thousands turned out. Catholics and Protestants marched together.

home current issue past stories about The Prism ... other sites Mairead Corrigan Inspires Struggle, Hope for Irish Peace by Kathy Worboys T he airport was crowded on the humid mid-August day and crammed tight with freckled, fair-skinned children, burnt and peeling from weeks in the sun. Wall-to-wall people left little room for movement, hardly enough for breathing. We had been in this same position exactly six weeks earlier, though that had been a happier time. It had been a day of anticipation and excitement, a day when a young girl stepped off an airplane and entered a brand new world. She had arrived to cheers and greetings from a family she had never seen, and was now preparing to depart, amidst tears and prayers and promises, from a family she had learned to call her own. The program that brought Joan to us is called Project Children. It is a program which gives people like Joan Rooney a chance to see the world as it should be, and which gives people like me the chance to see the world as it can be. We cried that day at the airport. We promised to write, and to include her in our prayers. We watched the plane taxi down the runway, and then we went home: home to our backyard pool and our white picket fence, home, where we could lock the doors, and retreat into safety. Later that night, I turned on the news and came face-to-face with a close-up of Joan, crying, as she returned to her own family. I cried with her that day, for all of them. While we sat, safe and secure in front of our television, they were re-entering a world of dirt and grime and guns, and anything but safety. Yet through it all we were left with the hope that people like Joan would strive for a time when they could fulfill the prophecies of a card she left for us. It read, "You helped us experience the meaning of peace, true brotherly love, and life without fear. You helped us become the hope for a future peace in Northern Ireland."
