What inspired the largest nonviolent protest in the history of the world on Feb. 15, 2003? The force that rose above national boundaries to unite millions in an impassioned, unprecedented worldwide cry for peace was not the 'superpower' of military menace, corporate greed, or rampant racism. The real superpower has always been, in the words of FOR's Statement of Purpose, "the power of love and truth to resolve human conflict," and the courageous people who are committed to this vision.

JOIN US for five incredible days in Los Angeles to organize an ever-increasing world peace-force to work unflinchingly for justice and reconciliation, to insist on peace for the war torn, equity for the poor, and to demand accountability from our elected officials. Come and help FOR celebrate its 90th year of active nonviolence, as we elevate our interfaith message of hope and strive together to build the Beloved Community.

Held at Occidental College, the Conference will feature excellent speakers, workshops and events including a benefit concert, a protest in the streets of Los Angeles, and many opportunities to enjoy the FOR family hospitality, as well as the excitement of vibrant, multicultural Los Angeles. Bring the whole family - excellent teen program and children's programs are planned.
