From forging tools out of weapons to sitting quietly with grieving families, we advocate for change in a variety of ways. Explore the different ways RAWtools is working to disarm hearts and forge peace throughout the United States.
Swords to Plowshares
Turning guns into garden tools is at the center of the work of RAWtools. It connects our programs and enables storytelling—stories of magnificent transformation as well as the deep trauma of grief and loss.
RAWtools’ nonviolence trainings approach real-world situations from a perspective of peace and disarmament. We believe there are tools to resolve conflicts that don’t involve violent weapons.
How do we prepare ourselves to welcome neighbors and strangers with open arms instead of bearing arms? How do we let love rather than fear drive our relationships?
