Peacework’s Final Printed Issue: Testimonials and Reflections

Peacework’s legacy? Never give in, give up, or give out.

Peacework to Relaunch as Blog

We look forward to announcing the relaunch of a newly redesigned Peacework. Peacework, the new nonviolent social change blog platform with a four decade long pedigree, will be relaunched. You can still see our old site with archives going back 10 years. Here, you'll see experiments with the alpha version. The American Friends Service Committee published Peacework for four decades, and has spun the new Peacework off into an independent blog. Want to blog about nonviolent social change in your geographic region or share your ongoing expertise, experiences, and dilemmas regarding an issue area or organizing approach? We are looking for you to join us as we relaunch.
