About Us
The El Dorado Peace Community
was established in the late 1970s and first began as
part of an effort to pass a Nuclear Freeze
Initiative in California. From its beginning through
the mid 90s, we organized around issues of war and
peace, and the struggles for self-determination of
the peoples of Central America. In 1996, we
established the Peace & Justice Concert Series that
produced over a dozen politically oriented concerts
between 1996 and 2000. In early 2002, we began
organizing to prevent the threatened war in Iraq,
and established ourselves as a non-profit (503c).
We have a 6-person Board of
Directors consisting of:
- Ani Durst
- Gale Hesselgesser
- Mary Bergquist
- Jim Martin
- Carla Turoff
- Maria
Martin
Our focus is on working and
organizing locally for a more just and peaceful
world. We are always looking for people who want to
join us in our effort and for ideas and suggestions
to increase our capacity and effectiveness,
so please consider getting involved in our efforts.
