Nonviolence

We work to improve our personal practice of nonviolence and peacemaking, to collaborate with organizations that foster peace, and to change violent systems and structures.

Explore our Advocacy Efforts

From the lens of nonviolence, we accept the challenge to become weavers of networks that defend life, spokespeople for those whose cries are silenced.
