How to become a peacemaker

Join Us to Dismantle Supremacy

Following a series of conversations that  included those with varied identities: religious, race/caste/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and nationality, OMNIA's board of directors resolved that OMNIA will declare itself an Anti-Supremacist Organization. OMNIA will encourage all its Interfaith Peacemaker Teams to have an Anti-Supremacist orientation and will work to dismantle supremacist ideologies and actions in our communities.

Please see the invitational video on the side panel prepared prior to the Parliament of the World's Religions. Our resolution is below:  

Whereas supremacy is a widespread and destructive mindset infused in individuals and systems spanning much of the world, which creates hierarchical structures, as well as social, political and economic systems that lead to oppression, domination and violence; and
Whereas many religions, despite espousing teachings that inculcate egalitarian values, are also caught up in supremacist structures and perpetuate them, contributing to, and participating in the same systems of oppression, domination and violence; and
Whereas supremacy is a substantial obstacle to peacemaking, since anytime one group of human beings decides that they are better than, more worthy than, more capable than, more favored by God than others, collaboration is impeded, and peace is thwarted; and
Whereas during the year 2020-21 OMNIA has engaged in a series of conversations on supremacies such as religious, racial, castist, colonialist, patriarchal and will continue to discuss supremacies over the earth and supremacies over those economically marginalized;
Be it resolved that the OMNIA Institute for Contextual Leadership declares itself an anti-supremacist organization.
