Make a pledge to stop and think about the impact and meaning of
the toys you buy the children in your life. All toys, games, video
games, computer games, movie viewing, television viewing, musical
selections and Internet activity impact the young people of our
society.
Manufacturers and commercials try to influence you to buy their
product because it means profit for them. But what do the toys
and the play they inspire mean and what impact will they have on
our children, our community, our society and the world?
We are NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO PURCHASE. We ask that you take a
moment to consider your purchases and if they truly support your
beliefs and values about a peaceful world.
Remember... Peace is a Choice
The Mothers Peace Movement (MOM) asks that you join us in
A Season of Peace this holiday season.
I realize that I am responsible for the messages sent to a child through a toy or game I have provided for them. I further realize that the act of my giving the item to a young person implies that I encourage and condone the message sent. I believe that a conscious choice I can make right now is to engage in thoughtful and peaceful gift giving.With regard to all the young people on my holiday shopping list this is my pledge:
