“Women Changing the World”
“Women, when activated by the heart, can move mountains. The women who heard Paz’s message carried it back to their families, spread it in their neighborhood gatherings, took it to their political rallies, and insisted on it with their elected representatives. They demanded that their nations move away from hostility and war and toward negotiation and peace. They lobbied for the funding of meditation programs in schools. They succeeded in reorganizing militaristic police forces, so that they included a large cadre of psychologists and sociologists. They used their purchasing power to influence the climate policies of large corporations. They gathered in massive prayer protests in opposition to hate groups and all those who would divide the people.”
