Help Us Keep Peace4Life Alive and Strong

Donation protected
Our Cause
We realized quickly here that we ARE the change that we are looking for. We are raising money so that we can continue our movement. We are grateful for the generous Cashapp support too at $Peace4lifebh.  Peace4Life   is a trusted community organizing institution dedicated to youth empowerment, racial equity healing, education justice and revitalizing our neighborhoods. Have you ever wanted to help, but did not know where to begin? Help us today! Become a Level Up member today. For years, we have empowered young people to learn about their true history, link with today's problems and work with decision-makers so that they can participate in their own rescue. When violence breaks out, the aftermath can not be ignored, but Peace4Life   has stories of peer-led suicide prevention, homicide prevention, social media advocacy, literacy programs, and so much more.


As many teachers  across the nation face overwhelming scrutiny, we have witnessed teachers crying tears of joy because they were moved by our inspirational initiatives. We mix up a healthy dose of the arts, technology, academics, and social responsibility to deliver a unique transformational experience for our participants.


Our organization hopes to continue solving community problems but we need reinforcements. Alongside community advocates, we have accomplished much and stood at the forefront against school shutdown threats, but our public schools are still in debt. 



The struggle is real, but we have accepted the challenge to stand up to billionaires who have boldly admitted to pushing resources away from schools in disinvested communities. If you haven't already, please sign our petition at bhwallst.com .  


An awesome musical group formed at Benton Harbor High School created this amazing song at the height of our troubles. I am featured in the music video highlighting that very Fresh Start petition as a call to action. We received more signatures on the petition than we have people residing in this city. Our work inspired people from all over the state and nation to stand up for public education. There is a tremendous need for this work. The video brought me to tears and serves as my daily motivation.


Sharing the home state of the wealthiest anti-public school crusaders, we understand that they have a bigger budget and intimidating connections, but we have strong hearts and we believe that we will make a difference if we keep pushing through.  We are doing the work. We show up fighting to keep our schools open, working to improve the inner city, and serving as a voice for the people. As you know, all of this grueling work both in the forefront and behind the scenes requires major funding. In order to mobilize and strengthen our program offerings, we will need to raise serious dollars on a regular basis to gain our independence and footing as community organizers and healing storytellers.

The Vision 


We are grateful for every dollar, and we are no longer shying away from the need in the community to attract $1 million. We have done so much with very little and we know that with your help, we can make a major difference, not just in our city, but worldwide.  We are seeking to secure funds as soon as possible to help get our BIAMA Healing Stories TEAn Talks Book Club back and ...



get our Saturday sCOOL TEAn Talk Show back plan our upcoming annual peace demonstrations, continue our policy research, coordinate events, pay for our youth leadership boot camps....


....support our 20 Year Fresh Start Community Building initiative to transform our town into a Little Wakanda/Black Wall Street. Don't laugh... join us! Whatever we touch and agree upon is totally possible.   


The Urgent Need for Sustainability
Gentrification efforts have handed us an aggressive timeline.  As we watch the indigenous people of our community wade through the mounted daily stressors of job loss, violence, increased lead levels, school closures, property foreclosures, over-policing, and rent hikes, the rising need for us to address the trauma will be critical this year more than ever.  Here's the thing, we are about solutions and you can take part in solving a real problem. We are asking you to level up with us. Any amount will help. Every organization or individual can support this.  One time donations will get us to our feet. Reoccurring commitments will give us wings.  How much can you afford to spare to help us help others help themselves?


A Unique Community Organizing Business Model

That is our community organizing model. You give whatever you like and/or buy the collector's editions. Choose your level of support based on your budget and we do the community work. Let us know when you are ready to Level Up. Your support represents giving back to the community. Pocket change to some could translate into a global change when invested in the right ideas. We have collectors editions children's books that can help us fund this worthy cause. MEracle Family Publishers is committed to power Peace4Life  initiatives regardless of the school district or city's budget. 

Our Product

We are offering Exclusive Level Up Limited Edition Timey and Friends Books to raise funds so that we can continue to serve. These timeless collector's items will symbolize your support to keep this dream alive. Each book is embellished with a customized seal of solidarity.  The bootprints on 4 of the 7 seals represent the steps taken by our ancestors and allies who walked before us and beside us committed to compelling this world and the people in it to just BE better. Notice that all of the boxes are checked for every level regardless of contribution? That was not a mistake. Some will be able to afford more than others, but everyone matters. Just let us know where to send your books!
