Introduction to Beaver County Peace Links
For over four decades, Beaver County Peace Links (BCPL) has stood as a beacon of hope and resilience in our community. Originating with the nuclear freeze campaign of the 1970s, this organization has continuously advocated for peace and justice, working tirelessly to support those affected by imperialism and warfare.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Peace
Every Saturday from 1 to 2 p.m., BCPL hosts a peace vigil outside the Beaver County Courthouse. This weekly gathering not only symbolizes our commitment to a safer world but also serves as an essential platform for community engagement. Participants are encouraged to bring their own signs or use the ones provided, fostering a sense of solidarity among attendees.
Engaging and Educating Our Community
Beyond vigils, BCPL is committed to educating the public about the impact of war and the principles of peace. Through documentary screenings, speakers’ events, and various educational activities, we share critical perspectives that empower residents of Beaver County. Furthermore, we actively mobilize our community by calling our representatives and campaigning for local progressive leaders who advocate for peace.
As an organization formed in 1982, BCPL continues to educate citizens about the true costs of war. We believe that investing in peace provides a pathway to a more prosperous future for all. If you share our vision for a safer, more just world, we invite you to join us in our efforts.
