Current & Recent Events:

   Started in 2001 Neighbors United for Justice and Peace (NUJP) is (primarily) made up of neighbors from Mount Rainier, Brentwood, Hyattsville and Riverdale Maryland (and others from the Metro DC area) who used to gather monthly to discuss justice and peace issues that affect us locally, nationally and throughout the world.

The primary goals and work of NUJP:

1. Educate people about the need for a system based on justice, peace, kindness, and full rights for all the world's peoples, and for the earth itself, through forums on different aspects of this need (i.e., countering militarism, alternative economic visions, etc.);

2. Participate in larger movements against war and corporate domination;

3. Organize local initiatives that further NUJP's goals, such as a Mount Rainier City Council resolution against the Iraq war, local demonstrations and vigils, with an emphasis on including parents and young children;

4. Promote ways of "practicing what we preach," including a barter/local currency initiative, alternative energy use, alternative food production;

5. Support community-building initiatives that encourage unity in diversity, justice and peace among our neighbors; and

6. Host monthly Community Forums and Meetings Community forums, topical in nature, will take place on the second friday of the month (unless otherwise scheduled), from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Please note: The location and any changes to day and time for our Community Forums will be posted in advance on our listserve e-mails so please be sure to signup as detailed earlier! Places that we have met for NUJP potlucks & meetings  include: Artmosphere Cafe, Mount Rainier City Hall or at a neighbors house.
