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.
