A more peaceful world is possible.
Peace begins with you.
One world. Billions of people.
One shared vision.
The I becomes a We.
What would you need in your life to feel a deep, deep peace within yourself?
Do you believe that one billion people on this planet have a say?
We believe: yes.
That is why we want the Peace Revolution to grow into a community of one billion people. Because together we can really change something. And every voice counts — including yours.
Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things, can change the face of the world. African proverb
Our world faces great challenges. Crises, conflicts and division often dominate the headlines. But we believe it is time to shift our view. Not to what divides us — but to what connects us.
A more peaceful world is possible. If we start together.
For decades, people took to the streets for peace. They carried banners. They debated. They argued. They made it visible that peace is a task for society as a whole.
Today we talk about crises, conflicts, rearmament, security and geopolitical interests. But there is one question we hear surprisingly rarely: What do people actually want?
Not states. Not parties. Not organizations. People.
We want to collect these voices. Not to force the same opinion on everyone. But so that it becomes visible what really moves people.
Our parents and grandparents knew what a world looks like in which peace has been lost. Destroyed cities. Separated families. Fear. Hunger. After the war, this gave rise to a sentence that shaped generations: Never again war. Today, peace seems to have become a given for many. It is not.
We don’t have to think the same, believe the same or walk the same path. Peace begins where we meet each other with respect despite our differences.
It is not about sameness, but about humanity. We listen to each other instead of judging one another. That is exactly how real togetherness comes about.
We are not looking for people who think the same. We are looking for people who, despite different views, are willing to meet each other as human beings:
Peace can be greater than our differences.
What we do not accept: calls for violence, hatred, dehumanization and the idea that peace is only possible once “the others” disappear. A peace movement that needs new enemies has missed its own point.
And because a peace movement loses its credibility when people talk about world peace while tearing each other down at the same time, our Peace Revolution also begins with ourselves: How do I talk to myself? How do I treat people who disagree with me? Can I listen without striking back immediately? Can I set boundaries without declaring the other person an enemy?

In “The Peace Revolution — Peace Begins with You” (in German), Rainer Stretz and Pamela Stretz-Weber share their thoughts, experiences and impulses for a more peaceful future. A book that encourages, invites reflection and shows how many individual people can grow into a strong We.
The Peace Revolution grew out of the Go4Diamond community. Since 2017 we have been connecting people and ideas around mind, health and money. With the Peace Revolution we are opening this community to every person who shares one thing with us: the wish for peace.
Achieving more together.

No. The Peace Revolution belongs to no party and supports none.
It is not directed against people, not against nations, not against parties and not against people with different political views. It is for something: peace, human dignity, dialogue, responsibility, listening, non-violence and the right to be heard.
No. We are not looking for people who think the same, but for people who, despite different views, are willing to meet each other as human beings.
First of all, you have done something: you have added your voice. After that, you decide for yourself how far you want to go.
You can simply remain part of the Peace Revolution, contribute your thoughts, take part in conversations, invite people or start small actions of your own. Nobody has to do everything. But everyone can do something.
Your details are stored for the Peace Revolution’s communication. Your name only appears publicly on this page if you explicitly allow it in the form — and then only with your first name, the initial of your last name and your city.

One voice is quiet. A million voices are not. Every large community is made up of individual people: 100,000 people are 100,000 individual decisions.
We see the million as the first size that becomes visible to society. The billion is our aspiration — not because a large number is automatically right, but because people need to be heard. A billion does not begin with a billion. It begins with one.
The Peace Revolution is a project of the non-profit association Go4Diamond, founded in 2017 in Austria. The book behind the movement was written by Rainer Stretz and Pamela Stretz-Weber.
Thank you for being part of the change.

I stand for peace Free. Simple. Together.
