AFSC Indiana Peacebuilding
The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) Indiana Peacebuilding Program uses creative and visual grassroots education and organizing to foster collaboration with and deepen the skills of students, faith-based activists, and community groups. By building leadership skills among a new generation of activists, the program seeks to create long-term changes in public opinion and policy about militarism and violence. Our work in Indiana focuses on two AFSC national initiatives, Humanize Not Militarize and Israel-Palestine peacebuilding campaigns.
