Event Description
Community Mediation, Inc. honors the contributions of those peacemakers with the annual Charles A. Pillsbury Peacemaker Award, named for one of New Haven’s most prominent peacemakers. The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, May 27 at 5:30 p.m. at the New Haven Lawn Club. From 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., we will have a viewing and discussion on “The Billboard From Bethlehem”.
This year, we are honoring Bruce Barrett. Mr. Barrett graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1985 with a B.S. in Applied History and Industrial Management. After graduation, he spent one year as a Missionary in Punta Arenas Chile, teaching English and running the youth group at Saint James Episcopal Church. He returned home to join and build the family billboard business (Barrett Outdoor) while learning about peace making.
In 2006 he created the www.IWagePeace.Org web site as a primer on active non-violent peacemaking. After receiving the Living Waters Award from the Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ for working with youth and promoting peace and diversity, he decided to create a film about peace making in Palestine. The Billboard from Bethlehem, his first film, has won four awards, including the Mondavi Award for Peace and Cultural Understanding at Napa Sonoma. In Tel Aviv it received an ovation from an audience of over 250 people, at the Spirit Film Festival.
Please join us in recognizing the contributions of this peacemaker, as well as supporting Community Mediation’s own peacemaking work, by sponsoring this year’s event.

New Report: A Close Look at the Reality of Community Violence Interrupters
Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Dr. Shani Buggs, eminent researchers and experts on the work of community violence intervention, have published, together with LISC, Supporting the Frontline Through Community Healing: Advancing Science on Violence Intervention Outreach and Trauma Exposure. The study, focused on safety efforts in Kansas City, MO, is a deeply researched and compassionate look at the trauma CVI workers confront every day and how to support the field so that practitioners “are protected from the same harms they work to prevent.”“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership
LISC's Institute for Community Power has published a new Spotlight examining three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners for distinct communities in different parts of the country: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. Each group has leveraged the leadership program to inform and strengthen their work and, in turn, to serve their communities more effectively.Mobile Home Residents in Washington State Are Calling the Shots After Buying Their Park
Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States. The residents of two Washington State mobile home communities recently succeeded in purchasing their parks with help from ROC USA and over $2 million in financing from Rural LISC. As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
