Peace Slogans

In 2003 before the United States had invaded Iraq, Susan Strong gathered many peace slogans that she had seen at protests, heard from others, or thought up or tweaked herself. We listed them on our site as part of The Metaphor Project. We have since updated our version of the list, and welcome your suggestions.

(When we first posted this, we were hosting the Metaphor Project site here. It now has its own site run by Susan. It is a great resource for framing political messages. Check it out.)
