Peacework has been published monthly since 1972, intended to serve as
a source of dependable information to those who strive for peace and justice
and are committed to furthering the nonviolent social change necessary
to achieve them. Rooted in Quaker values and informed by AFSC experience
and initiatives, Peacework offers a forum for organizers, fostering coalition-building
and teaching the methods and strategies that work in the global and local
community. Peacework seeks to serve as an incubator for social transformation,
introducing a younger generation to a deeper analysis of problems and
issues, reminding and re-inspiring long-term activists, encouraging the
generations to listen to each other, and creating space for the voices
of the disenfranchised. |
