"Signs of Peace"
The Signs of Peace billboard project has been an amazing thing to watch unfold. A number of us began to look into the cost of running full page ads in various newspapers and the cost was extremely high for the amount of exposure they produce. Dave Maize, a PRA volunteer in Oregon, took the initiative to look into the possibility of doing billboards and discovered that nonprofit organizations can get a special rate, making these very visible statements a very real option. Within the space of a about a month, the "Signs of Peace" billboard campaign had come to life, as billboards that show an American Flag, a dove of peace and the words "Peace Is Patriotic" began appearing in metropolitan areas throughout the country including San Francisco, Tucson, Reno, Denver, Cleveland, and more. The goal has been to put forth the idea that those who take a stand against war love this country and the freedom it represents...and it is working.

To date, over 66 billboards have been printed and we plan to continue to keep the ball rolling by continuing to post billboards in more and more cities. In addition to the paper billboards, we have had one billboard printed on vinyl that can be used over and over. It was on Interstate 65 in Nashville, TN for 4 months and is currently appearing in cities all over the San Francisco bay area in California.

Ideally we look for cities with a PRA representative to identify and monitor the locations, to raise funds in their community to help cover printing and posting costs and if possible to serve as a press contact.

We also work with other peace groups. Free to Disagree www.freetodisagree.org is an organization that posts billboards in Olympia, Washington. They have adopted our Peace Is Patriotic design for one of their next displays.

In addition to the exposure created by the billboards themselves, articles about the Signs of Peace project have appeared in several newspapers and on various news web sites. Instead of paying outrageous fees for advertising space, we have become the news, delivering real leverage on the donations we receive.

Although the efforts of the peace movement are often ignored by the mainstream media, the Signs of Peace project brings our message directly to the millions of people in this country who do not believe that war is the answer and lets them know they are not alone.

To continue, we need your help. If you would like to have our Peace Is Patriotic or Wake Up America billboards in your city
