Overview

Mission

The Appalachian Peace Education Center's purpose is to educate and empower people in Appalachia to work for peace and justice.

What it reported doing in 2025

APEC's efforts include Peaceful Planet Initiative (PPI), Racial Justice concerns, and the Rural Urban Bridge Initiative. With the PPI, APEC raises awareness, demonstrates advocacy, and educates regarding the safety and impact of small modular reactors, the processing weapons grade uranium, and development of data centers in our community. This is pursued through educational sessions, rallies, hearings, marches, press conferences, and meetings. In addition, PPI works to educate and advocate for a variety of additional concerns related potentially marginalized groups, immigration, and peace. Through our Racial Justice Initiative, we organize various events for education and action and partner with local schools, churches, and civic organizations. The Rural Urban Bridge Initiative works to bridge diverse opinions around identity, geography and ideologies
