Goals & Priorities

Americans for Global Peace (AGP) is committed to promoting worldwide peace through diplomacy, conflict resolution, cooperation,  civic engagement, and community involvement. While the scale of global worldwide conflicts – about 60 major armed conflicts and over 100 armed confrontations – makes the challenge intimidating, AGP is focused on practical, results-oriented effort, starting with active and emerging conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.
