Peace for Packs is an initiative of Temple Israel in Canton, Ohio whose overall values include practicing social action and striving to achieve social justice. As the rise of antisemitism and other hate has escalated across the world and specifically in Stark County over the last several years, Peace for Packs is a grass roots community driven effort with the objective of empowering local youth with the tools needed to report a hate crime or incident on their own. Each peace sign is hand-made by community members and includes a tag with the steps that should be taken to report a hate crime. The peace signs are encouraged to be used as a “dangle” for backpacks with the goal of every student in Stark County proudly displaying a message of peace.
Report a Peace Incident
For every hate incident that occurs across the world, there are beautiful stories that outshine them. Please join the movement of peace and share your stories, poems, art, and photos that show messages of peace and harmony. We will share them to our “Peace Page,” and together, we can help make the world a better place.

Our peace signs are made out of Perler beads and are best made on a circular peg board. A regular square peg board will work but is a bit more complicated. The completed peace sign itself should measure about 3 inches in diameter.
Peace Sign Pattern
Once you have placed the Perler beads on the peg board in your peace sign shape, you will need to iron it with parchment paper on top. This process will melt the beads together.
