                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. BONNIE WATSON COLEMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 30, 2021

  Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rev. 
Robert Moore for serving as the Executive Director of the Coalition for 
Peace Action (CFPA) for 40 years. Rev. Moore has worked tirelessly on 
critical issues of peace including gun control, disarmament, the 
reduction of nuclear weapons, voter engagement, and countless other 
causes.
  In his role as Executive Director, he has led critical peacemaking 
efforts through the Coalition for Peace Action, which celebrated its 
40-year anniversary last year. Rev. Moore led many grassroots 
initiatives in the United States including the inaugural Peace Voter 
Campaign in 1995 as well as one of the largest demonstrations in 
national history in 1982 where one million people gathered in New York 
to call for a freeze on nuclear weapons.
  In honor of Rev. Moore's illustrious career and dedication to 
peacemaking efforts, the Princeton Municipal Council declared that 
September 8, 2021 is ``Reverend Robert Moore Day'' in Princeton, New 
Jersey. Rev. Moore's dedication to building a more peaceful world is an 
inspiration to us all and today we celebrate the impact and importance 
of his work.
  I congratulate Rev. Bob Moore on his notable achievements.
