This morning I took over our @SFCG_ account to report live from London @The_Globe on our campaign with @intalert @peacedirect @CRbuildpeace to get the word #peacebuilding on the dictionary

[Search for Common Ground @SFCG_]

Which of these two words are in the dictionary?
WARMONGERING: The action of seeking to bring about war ☑️
PEACEBUILDING: The action of seeking to build peace ❌
Help change this!
RT if you think #peacebuilding should be in the dictionary @intlalert @peacedirect
