Making the World Nonviolent for Everyone

Our aim is to help create a nonviolent world; that is, a world in which violence is never used by any individual, organization or nation for any purpose and in which political, economic and social structures do not have violence built into them. In the world of our vision, everyone will benefit by being part of a just, peaceful and ecologically sustainable community.

We have developed a detailed strategy to tackle the fundamental cause of violence and all of its many symptoms, and we are now implementing this strategy. This strategy is the result of decades of research and action, and involves five key areas of engagement:

  • To raise awareness among the entire human population that human violence is the preeminent problem faced by our species
  • To raise awareness among the entire human population of the need to tackle this violence strategically
  • To mobilise involvement in this effort
  • To assist in the development and implementation of locally appropriate strategies to tackle violence whether, for example, to end violence against children; to resist war; to defeat a genocidal assault; to comprehensively tackle the full spectrum of development, social justice and environmental problems (including the climate catastrophe); to defend against a foreign invading power or a political/military coup; to liberate a population living under military dictatorship or occupation; or to defend humanity against a coup conducted by the Global Elite
  • To provide education and support for these efforts

Our strategy is based on six main projects: We Are Human, We Are Free, The People’s Charter to Create a Nonviolent World, The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth, Feelings First and the development of nonviolent defence/liberation strategies based on Robert Burrowes’ book The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense: A Gandhian Approach, the essence of which is now online at Nonviolent Defense/Liberation Strategy. Separately from this, the website Nonviolent Campaign Strategy describes how to plan and implement a nonviolent strategy to achieve a peace, environmental or social justice outcome.

These projects are explained on their respective websites.

We need financial support to do this work and ask you to consider being one of the people who makes it possible.
