Promoting Peace in a Culture of Violence

In dangerous times, faith leaders who recognize the warning signs of targeted violence are critical builders of peace and preventers of tragedy. Thank you for stepping forward into this important role.

From Muslim communities in Rwanda to diverse interfaith coalitions in Charlottesville, we have seen time and time again that preparation and organizing make the difference between life and death. That’s why Faith in Public Life has created this resource for you. It is intended as an on-the-shelf crisis preparation and response plan tailored to your local context. We are very grateful to Rachel Brown and Samantha Owens of Over Zero for their input on this guide and leadership in our training on countering the language of violence.
