100 Top Peace Advocates Inspiring the World to Percolate Peace

At Percolate Peace, we believe peace begins with a single moment — a ripple that grows into something far-reaching and transformative. In a world that often feels divided, we find hope and healing in those who choose to live with compassion, courage, and presence.

These 100 individuals represent the spirit of peace in action. They lead by example — in activism, education, spirituality, storytelling, science, and service. Some are legacy icons. Others are rising voices. But all leave what we call Peace Prints—meaningful, lasting imprints of hope and harmony on the world around them.

This list is a celebration of peaceful leadership. It’s not ranked, and it’s not definitive. It’s a living, breathing tribute to those shaping a more peaceful world.

Whether you're new to this conversation or leading peace initiatives of your own, may these names uplift you, ignite ideas, and remind you that peace is not passive. It is powerful.
