Building Institutional Readiness for the Next Generation of Civic, Workforce, and Global Leadership

LILMOD's international work grows from years of field research, public history, cultural preservation, youth organizing, nuclear disarmament advocacy, and institution-facing preparation. Through PEAC Institute, Students for Nuclear Disarmament, Back from the Brink, and partner networks, LILMOD team members have contributed to international peace and nuclear policy spaces while remaining grounded in community-based scholarship and public education.

In 2026, Jahrik Browner, a LILMOD team member and PEAC Institute representative, co-delivered the International Youth Statement at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference alongside Rooj Ali. Jahrik also served as a primary liaison between the PEAC Youth Delegation and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation / Reverse the Trend, helping coordinate communication and carrying significant responsibility in the editing and refinement of the statement.

Clarence Sanders, also a LILMOD team member, participated in the PEAC Youth Delegation and helped write and edit the statement. James D. Height Jr. advised the delegation on structure, historical framing, and justice-centered connections to affected communities, Gullah-Geechee history, nuclear legacies, and global civic responsibility.

This work is a major international advocacy highlight that shows how LILMOD helps connect research, fieldwork, cultural memory, youth leadership, and public communication to national and international civic opportunity.
