Milwaukie
The City of Milwaukie strongly supports the Rotary Club of Milwaukie’s application to become an International City of Peace. This designation firmly aligns with our community vision, adopted in 2017, which calls for Milwaukie to become a flourishing city that is entirely equitable, delightfully livable, and completely sustainable. Milwaukie’s commitment to peace is not new—one of the city’s founding fathers, Seth Lewelling, who settled in Milwaukie in 1847, was a passionate advocate for abolition and women’s rights. Milwaukie’s modern-day leaders remain committed to promoting community safety, fostering equity and inclusion, and strengthening relationships with the Tribal government and indigenous peoples who originally inhabited this land.
Vision Statement: Milwaukie is a community where peace is more than the absence of conflict—it is a shared commitment to respect, belonging, justice, service, and opportunity for all.

The City of Milwaukie, Oregon and the Rotary Club of Milwaukie, Oregon plan to continue to plant Peace Poles around our city, to stress peace, equity and conflict resolution and to recognize all humans are created equal and will treat everyone without regard to race, religion, sex, age, national origin, disabilities or sexual orientation.
