Sadly, the Syrian regime has imprisoned thousands of nonviolent civilians. We’re keeping track of 71 nonviolent prisoners of conscience who have been imprisoned for 60 days or more.

Syrian organizations are leading the call to release nonviolent political prisoners being held in Syria. Will you join FOR, the Syrian Nonviolence Movement, and 18 other Syrian organizations in demanding their freedom?

Guns have killed more than 3,000 people in the U.S. since the Newtown, CT tragedy in December.

We support Faiths Calling in its appeal to Congress to:

• Require universal background checks for all gun purchases
• Ban semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
• Make gun trafficking a federal crime
• Improve access to mental health services

We also call on religious groups, state legislatures, universities, and businesses to take leadership in creating safe communities by creating gun-free zones in houses of worship, university campuses, and restaurants (such as our “Brew Not Bullets” campaign with Starbucks).

The Fellowship of Reconciliation pursues a vision of a free and “demilitarized” world in which the Earth’s resources sustain life and promote the well-being of all people.

To do so, we challenge economic exploitation, work to eradicate racism and religious intolerance, and call attention to imperialistic U.S. foreign policy.

As we continue to speak truth to power, FOR engages in an ongoing interfaith dialogue to shift the collective unconscious from a fear-based military culture to a peaceful world community grounded in faith and nonviolent justice.
