  • PeaceRoots Nonviolence Statement

We believe that this movement can contribute to world peace if we work to become peaceful ourselves. We support only those activities and groups that practice nonviolence in their tactics as well as their goals. We ally ourselves with groups that have a long history of fostering peace through nonviolent means, including:

(AFSC), an organization founded by Quakers, works on issues of economic justice, peace building, social justice, and youth in the US, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. AFSC works in prisons, on environmental justice, on building healing relationships between races, on issues confronting sexual minorities, youth, Native Americans, and impoverished peoples. AFSC was founded in 1917 to provide conscientious objectors with an opportunity to aid civilian victims during World War I.1501 Cherry StreetPhiladelphia, PA 19102215/241-7000www.afsc.org
