More About Us

Who We Are

Peace in Action is an educational firm providing workshops, classes and programs to help our clients create workplaces that are more open, civil, welcoming, and inclusive. The material was created by two university professors to create safe ways to talk about DEI and Belonging, racism, sexism, microagressions, and LGBT issues, and how DEI fits into Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). We are proud to be a zero waste-to-landfill company.

What We Do

We build bridges between employees to help them become more productive and successful through attitudinal surveys, workshops, and classes both virtually and in-person.

Our Principles and Passions

Peace in Action can facilitate uncomfortable conversations and supply tools to address your issues without blaming or victimizing the attendees. We explain the history of current hot button issues and provide an understanding of a better approach to handling workplace discrimination involving race, ethnicity, gender, LGBT identity and sexism.

Our founders, Professors Budd and Scillieri, have over 30 years’ experience in teaching Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, Gender Studies and Media, through a diverse lens. Professor Scillieri has conducted trainings on LGBT issues and has done advocacy worldwide on issues of gender based violence. Dr. Budd has over 20 years’ experience in institutional assessment and the creation and development of organizational materials, and served as the first Diversity Officer at Seton Hall University.
