Led by Experience. Driven by Action.
Ahmad Shah Mohibi was born in war, raised in war, and fought terrorists in war. Unlike the so-called experts sitting in classrooms writing theories, he lived it. He fought alongside U.S. forces, worked in intelligence, and saw firsthand how extremism grows—and more importantly, how it can be stopped.
This isn’t another think tank. Rise to Peace was built on real experience, not academic guesswork. We expose terrorism, educate the public, and provide real-world solutions to stop radicalization before it starts.
If you’re tired of the same old political rhetoric, join us. Stay informed. Take action.
🚀 The fight against extremism starts here.

I live near the Dulles Expo Center. I am sorry that I cannot donate time-feeling stretched by other volunteer commitments–though we have Stuff, I can buy Stuff, and I can donate the ever versatile $$.
Yours in peace, Sue Marcus
